Latonic have already started making more waves in Scotland than Nessie and looking back at their history it’s easy to see why. Having charted at position 30 with their first single release, and supported the likes of The Glitterati, Goose, Dogs and many more well known acts, Latonic are making a name for themselves that is starting to spread south of the boarder.
Latonic, originally singer Grant, guitarists Jay and Andy, bassist Stu and drummer Ally, was kick-started with ‘The Half Life EP’ in the autumn of 2004, a self-released five track recording. The all out adrenaline fuelled EP, described as “exuding decadence”, received great fanzine reviews and was a big hit with fans of the Glasgow band. As a result, the band signed to Horus Music in 2005
After touring to promote ‘Half Life’, supporting bands such as Regurgitator, The*Ga*Ga*s and Deckard, Latonic went back into the studio to work on some new offerings. The result was 2006’s ‘Turn on the Sky’, the band’s debut single which made top 30. Produced by fellow Glaswegian Chris Gordon (who has worked with El Presidente and Snow Patrol), ‘Turn on the Sky’ received rave reviews and was supported by regional and national radio, boosting the Latonic fan base significantly. The single also featured a remix by electro/alt masters, Union of Knives.
Latonic have now finished their debut album ‘Desirable‘. Watch this space for further infomation on its physical release.
