Akira (defunct)
I Dizzy You

This the first release for Glasgow’s

Akira friends of Idlewild, Peeps into Fairyland and Eska**

But they’ve chosen not to be as

straightforward as those bands and have gone with a mixture of riot girl and

indie-rawk. Their two main musical influences are Sonic Youth and Sleater Kinney

and the Sleater Kinney similarities come through as soon as 19-year-old Yvonne

McClelland steps up to the mic. Her voice is practically the same as Corin’s

although Yvonne doesn’t screech like a cat when she reaches the high notes.

*‘I Dizzy You’ *is a story of an

one-sided relationship, “I do love you, do you love me too?”, the music’s

very indie sounding considering their from Glasgow. *‘Don't Hate Me’ *is

a melancholy tale of an ex-boyfriend and how the girls coping with the split,

Yvonne’s sound like she quite a confused, depressed and bitter little girl.

Hopefully one day she’ll find the right man and write some cheerful lyrics to

go with the upbeat indie music, although they’ll probably sound like a more

complex Kenickie then, hmmm decisions, decisions.
