Glasgow four piece Galleries release their new single ‘Darkness Coming’ on the 11th of May. Launching it with a single launch at Glasgow’s Captain’s Rest, alongside other fine bands We See Lights + Letters.

In April, Galleries recorded a set of songs that depict their progression as an act. The first fruits of those sessions arrive in the shape of new single ‘Darkness Coming’ is both epic and affecting and perhaps Galleries most immediate cut yet.

‘Darkness Coming’s addictive sound instantly envelops you in it’s cinematic wall of noise: of a throbbing rhythm section, guitar licks and hollered backing vocals that shoot across the skies, while at its core the heart stopping, soaring notes of lead singer David McAdam gaze with awe at the stars.

Galleries prepared their debut EP over the course of 2010; refining their sound and live performance before unveiling it to the world. ‘Galleries EP’ was released as a free download to the public in January 2010, it was followed up by the single Rocket Science.

Galleries have had radio play from BBC Radio 1 Scotland and also performed live on the station, while influential Scottish blogger The Pop Cop was amongst those in the Scottish scene who pinpointed the band as ones to watch enthusing that “Galleries stand head and shoulders above their peers in Glasgow’s crowded guitar-band scene.”

Galleries recent activities include series of well-received performances at festivals such as Wickerman, and writing their debut album, which is due to, be recorded throughout 2011.
