The outplay of this has been a new wave of gentrification in American cities.

A band truly capable of putting Scotch rock on the map, all the bagpipes in the world performing “Amazing Grace” couldn’t outplay them. The four-piece group employs the kind of sweeping, heavily produced guitar lines that have made other Commonwealth bands like Muse and Bloc Party famous while capitalizing on moody lyrics and killer accents. The album cover of their eponymous first release, which is actually a collection of songs that...
