Twelve months can be a long time in music. As 2006 greeted 2007, vocalist and pianist Roy Stride was working the day shift at a phone store in Harrow.
Fast-forward to 20th January 2008 and Roy is celebrating with a number one album, safe in the knowledge that his band (of lifelong friends) are one of the most exuberant and successful British acts in years. Life can be sweet.
From promoting regular pub gigs in their hometown, Scouting For Girls' ear for a melody and knack for a tune meant things began to progress quickly.
Within days of signing a deal with Epic Records (Valentines’ Day 2007) they were swept out to the legendary Helioscentric Studios in East Sussex to record their debut album with producer Andy Green.
The first taster to a wider audience, was the release of the “It’s Not About You” EP in June 2007. It became the first limited edition EP to chart in UK history. The following September Scouting For Girls released their first single, ‘She’s So Lovely’ which peaked at 7, and spent an amazing six weeks in the UK Top 10. The foundations were set, the radio stations tuned in, and Britain was (literally) waking up to Scouting For Girls as the new British indie-pop sensations.
With the release of their highly acclaimed eponymous debut album on 17th September 2007, Scouting For Girls delivered a record that is resiliently upbeat in sound, and yet delves deep into the soul – posing questions and answering them in one swooping, rushing, head-spinning melody.
Owing their success largely to the support of their longstanding Wolfcub fans, recalling those roots is important. Even today, as the trio sit as all conquering chart heroes, time is spent conversing via the internet to their fans, and preparing Wolf Cub packs for the bludgeoning waiting list.
Taking the all-important step outside of Britain is the next move in the band’s plans to make the world a much cheerier place to be.
Twelve months is a long time in music. Scouting For Girls’ journey however, has only just begun.
