THROW together four guys who love every style of rock music – and you pretty much have The Label.

The band have managed to create a unique sound since forming three years ago in 2013 thanks to the plethora of tastes favoured by members including drummer Ryan Kane, singer Jordan McGlynn, guitarist Michael Kerr and bassist Chris Shearer.

They are inspired by every style of rock music from the softer tones of Indie to the edgier harder sound associated with the genre’s origins.

And it’s this fusion which has earned the four-piece a comparison to the a certain super successful band from Sheffield, which isn’t bad for an unsigned and independent act.

“We get compared to the Arctic Monkeys quite a lot actually,” beamed drummer Ryan, who is originally from Dennistoun.

“Queens of the stone age is another influence but the influences within the band are pretty vast from the Stones Roses and Libertines to heavier stuff.

“It is that sort of mix that gives us a unique sound.”

It’s that very unique sound that has been the force behind their new EP Vodka & Lemonade which features tracks Copenhagen, Black Fiesta, Hangover.

Title track Vodka & Lemonade, however, originally created much debate for the band as they were unsure over what direction to take the EP as 25-year-old Ryan explained, “We originally wrote a song called Vodka & Lemonade which is the first track of the EP.

“Originally, we had a bunch of songs and we thought why don’t we release two EPs and call one Vodka, and call one Lemonade?

“Lemonade could have the pop stuff and Vodka could have more of a hard rock sound.

“Do a duel album was the idea but when we came down to recording it, we thought it was best we just stick out our four best tracks on there.”

He added: “We think it appeals to everyone the sort of music we do. It kind of crosses a lot of genres.”

The Label decided to record the EP after releasing Private Members Club and One of the Girls earlier this year.

“We recorded the EP in Liverpool, and we were up all sort of crazy hours trying to get it done,” said Ryan.

They released the album themselves via popular digital channels such as Spotify and iTunes, and so far they have been impressed with the response.

Ryan said: “It is doing very well, we have had great response back.

“We have let the music do the talking. We have pushed it a bit harder and we have a lot of feedback from both fans and music bloggers.”

He added: “We just about sold out King Tuts in Glasgow recently and we found people were singing along to songs from the EP which was completely bizarre

“We have had people say oh that is my favourite song or I love this bit of the song.”

Playing a prestigious venue such as King Tuts is the dream for any upcoming band in Glasgow but even The Label admit that sometimes the city’s thriving live music scene can sometimes go against them.

Ryan said: “Glasgow is a weird one because it is so big it is kind of hard to get your head above the water. There is a lot of nepotism that we don’t like.

“A lot of people will say this band are doing really well because they know a guy.

“It’s often who you know and we try to fight against that and do our own thing.”

Now that they have played such a huge Glasgow venue, the band are hoping to expand their horizons.

Ryan said: “We had a few offers for gigs in Glasgow but we have not taken them up yet because King Tut’s was such a big show.

“We know we can push up to other things now. We may play elsewhere in Scotland. We are going to have a look at a few shows maybe in places like Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen.”

But for the rest of the year, the band will simply focus on songwriting.

Ryan said: “We are going to continue writing, and we will push the EP. We are really proud of it and we don’t want it to just disappear.”
