A bit of a Scottish Polistory.
After scraping our knees together, we scraped our fingers on
guitars and pianos and banged them on biscuit tins before
playing songs in front of people in the upstairs rooms of
pubs in Newcastle upon Tyne, including a few with the
Anti-pop Organisation (Arthur2Stroke, Noise Toys etc) when
those Viz boys were selling Viz 1 in the toilet. Since then,
we've played with various line-ups in Sheffield, Newcastle,
Leicester and London...
The philosophy of the Scottish Polis Inspectors has always
been serious fun; to make music with feeling and meaning. We
are now based and recording in Newcastle upon Tyne but we
have always been a collective with various Inspectors
ploughing semi-detached furrows in the East Midlands and
Australia.
We decided to finally record some songs properly (instead of
through the built-in mics of cassette recorders onto EMI
Soundhogs) and came up with the Gina McKee EP in 2005 and the
rest of the songs on the Gina McKee album in 2006, all
recorded at the fabulous Cluny Studios in Newcastle upon
Tyne. A couple of songs were featured in a friendly blog and
our music spread to some small pockets of Germany, Spain,
Australia, Brazil, Taiwan and the US. In Berlin, Firestation
Records liked us enough to stick Gina McKee (the song) on
their æThe British Invasion Vol 2Æ compilation (FST 072).
We have been played on BBC 6music (Gideon Coe), Resonance FM,
James Clarke's Northern Uproar on Radio Newcastle and German
radio. Google us for the proof!
Inspector Napier appeared in The Mourning Brooch.
