Baby Strange - More! More! More!

Baby Strange are an indie/rock band formed in 2012 in Glasgow and consists of Johnny Madden (vocalist/guitarist), Connaire McCann (drums) and Aidan McCann (bass).

They share their name with a TRex track from the 1972 album The Slider, however, this seems coincidence as Madden has previously stated in an interview

unlike people think we actually made the name up and it really stuck, and then we realised it was a TRex song.

The three piece from north Glasgow were friends for years and creating Baby Strange was a great way to show off their creative side and bring their brand of contemporary punk to the nation.

A unique feature of Baby Strange is that the recording, videoing and artwork for their music is all done by the band members themselves.

Today, Friday 3 April 2020 sees the release of their new single More! More! More! On 7 West Records and it’s a belter of a tune, excellent guitar riffs, interjected with sleek hooks, strong drums and a strong vocal from Madden.

The lyrics are well written with a couple of excellent singalong verses, I’m thinking of the lyric “now that’s I call music, now that’s what I call music” and the lyric “is it funny like a haha, wasted all your money now your nose is bleeding”.

It’s a cracking track building on their previous releases and showcases why they are so influential in the growing Glasgow indie/punk scene.
