Having formed in 2018, waverley. are fresh faces to Scotland’s burgeoning indie rock scene. With a string of gigs across Scotland under their belt, waverley. have emerged from these gigs with a sound that blends “colourful guitar led melodies with contemplative lyricism”.
Lockdown and graduation from University has gifted the band newfound time and focus. The result is two new songs, recorded by Idlewild’s Rod Jones, that successfully highlight their tone and ambition.
Line Up
waverley.
Forming in 2018, Peplo is a Glasgow based four-piece that cuts classic pop songcraft with an alternative edge. They've shared stages with the likes of Meursault; Jonnie Common; Katie Gregson-Macleod; and En Attendant Ana.
The band's sound has been described as "lofi, dreamy, and lush" by The Unsigned Guide, while their music has drawn comparisons to "Dolly Mixture, Marine Girls, and C86" (Rats on the Run) as well as "The Cranberries or 10,000 Maniacs but with added complexity and muso appeal" (Storm the Palace). Peplo’s debut single, ‘Tall’, found national and international airplay - garnering the band feature spots on various blogs, playlists, and radio programs. The group’s second single, ‘Katarina’s Got My Tongue’, was released shortly thereafter; the track was quickly hailed as “the perfect dreamy summertime anthem” with “an utterly addictive chorus” (The Music Files), while also being picked up by Tom Robinson's for his Sunday afternoon BBC Radio 6 Music show. Peplo’s forthcoming EP will be released in 2021.
