Hats Off to the Buskers

The View

A rowdy, melodic explosion of Scottish indie rock. Scrappy acoustic foundations meet distorted electric guitars and a thick, unapologetic Dundonian delivery.

January 22, 2007 · Demon Records

Find on Amazon

A chaotic, high-spirited celebration of youth and regional identity that feels both urgent and nostalgic.

Moments Worth Listening For
The infectious, repetitive bassline of 'Same Jeans' that anchors the track's slacker-anthem status.
The frantic, almost-falling-apart drum fill that kicks off 'Comin' Down'.
The transition from the acoustic busker-style opening to the full-band explosion on 'Face for the Radio'.
