Noah Noah first caught our attention a few months ago with the release of their excellent debut single, Lips.

The upbeat number, complete with jangly guitar riff, catchy chorus and old-school synth sounds, boasts echoes of Eighties popsters Hipsway, which left us curious to hear more.

Since then the Edinburgh-based four piece, fronted by part-time lifeboat man Fraser Fulton, have been on a UK tour supporting Kirsten Adamson as well as playing a series of well-received headline gigs. Their follow-up single, Champion, continues in the Scotpop vein and was recently released on the Feast Records label.

Noah Noah play an acoustic show at Glasgow’s Hug & Pint on Wednesday, followed by a series of festival dates including Audio Soup (24 July), Tea In The Woods (6 August), Fringe By The Sea (13 August) and Day Tripper (3 September). Listen in at https://soundcloud.com/noahnoah
