Underage Glasgow: Rubber Lover

If you are not familiar with the excellent Marmaduke Duke (is it nice

living under a rock?!),they are one part Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro fame,

and one part JP Reid of Glasgow band Succioperro, who assume the

identities of The Atmosphere and The Dragon and document the life

and times of the mythical character "The Duke".

The entire of the band's excellent new album Duke Pandemonium is

available to preview on their Myspace just now, two weeks before it's

official UK release, and it is well worth a listen. Where the chaotic

spazz-rock of the band's first album, The Magnificent Duke, was

interesting but ultimately very difficult listening, the new album is

instantly listen-able, with hook-laden choruses all over the shop and

dripping in shiny pop production.

Deservedly, the band's new single Rubber Lover (basically 1:54 of pop

gold) has been all over Radio 1, check it out below and then head over

to their myspace to check the album out in full.
