I first met this band while doing media coverage at the Burns Festival in Ayr last year, I was doing some interviews for the Ayr Play battle of the bands competition that night and this band were playing as part of it. There was something special about Acrylic Iqon which set them apart from the rest that night and made me metaphorically sit up and take notice. In such a short space of time this band have achieved great things not only did they win Xfm's "rock school" but they have also had the opportunity to play some prestigious support slots alongside the likes of The View, Idlewild and The Fratellis.
Their latest offering in conjunction with Kittiwake Records is their debut single "Close your eyes", if you have ever listened to any other tracks by this band you will know what I mean when I say their music has the ability to lift your mood. This new track is no different, the dual vocals compliment each other perfectly and they have the well known Scottish "twang" that has become common from the scene. The song incorporates the usual upbeat and as some have said "power-pop" tones I have come to associate with this band. All in all a fantastic offering from one of the up and coming bands of the Scottish scene. If you haven't already checked this band out then I highly recommend you do.
You can check this band out live at their release party with support from Run From Red and Forgotten Sunday Saturday 2nd April at:
