Glasgow three-piece Garlands “love big guitars that go POP!” Don’t just take their word for it, listen to the band’s DIY debut full length Imagine I Was This Tall. Garlands cite The Byrds, The Bangles, Matthew Sweet, and Rubber Soul era Beatles among their influences. Surely, the ten songs on the record are full of heart and pop. But although I’d categorize Garlands as an indie pop band, I could see fans of power pop enjoying this record just as much. For a large part this is due to the frenetic drumming of Stef Blair who, on some of these songs, sounds like he hasn’t been informed by his fellow band members yet that Garlands is not in fact a punk rock band. It’s one of many things to like about this band’s sound.
