Pop-punkers Lost In Stereo are hoping to hit the big time – after cheekily trying to win over Biffy Clyro.

The Glasgow foursome couldn’t resist attempting to get their music to the Ayrshire rockers at the recent TRNSMT festival.

“We gave Biffy Clyro a copy of the EP when we saw them at TRNSMT so hopefully they’ll have a wee listen to it,” explains guitarist Andrew Paterson.

“The EP’s got almost certainly our best songs on it so we want to see how everything continues and if we can build a buzz up for it. We’ve been dying for the single to come out so we can’t wait for everything.”

That new single, Tear Out The Pages, will be played at King Tut’s a week tonight (Thursday, July 27) when the band headline a Summer Nights show. It will be the group’s second headline gig at the legendary venue, as their punchy tunes go from strength to strength.

Andrew met bassist Jon Reid at Strathclyde University, and then added his friend from back home in Perthshire, Ellis Hill, on vocals. Drummer Dean McClory rounded out the line-up, and after taking their name from an All Time Low song they started making music inspired by the likes of My Chemical Romance and A Day To Remember.

The release of Tear Out The Pages is a big step for the group, who co-wrote it with Stefan Abingdon of London comedy pop band the Midnight Beast.

“Chris Marshall at Lofi Studios is friends with someone at the United Talent Agency in London, and she’s good friends with Stef, through her husband,” explains Andrew.

“It’s a bit of a who you know situation, because basically she wanted to take us on as a passion project after hearing our first single. She thought we had some potential, and introduced us to Stef, who we wrote two songs with.

“He wants us to go down to London later in the year and work some more. At the moment he’s very busy with something for the Fringe in August (All Killer, a comedy-horror musical), but hopefully we’ll be doing something more with him.”

The group are also eager to get out on the road as much as they can. While some acts are happy to stay close to home and build a fanbase that way, Andrew admits the quartet are keen to find out how they’d fare on tour.

“We’ve already been told that the first tour is always a horrible experience,” he laughs.

“You’re probably playing to two people every night and then sleeping on hard floors, but just getting that on the band CV would be good to have. We’d love to get out with a bunch of other bands in the Glasgow pop-punk scene, and play somewhere new, maybe even go across the UK.

“Pop punk seems to be growing here, especially over the last two years. Maybe it’s just because we’re gigging more around Glasgow, seeing more gigs, and are more aware of it all, or just that there’s more bands coming through.”

The band have already supported the likes of the Ataris, while Andrew admits their first Tut’s gig was a particular highlight.

“It’s one of those iconic venues that you always get excited to play, especially when you walk up the stairs and see all these great bands that played there in the past,” he says.

“All of us have been to see many bands in the past there, so playing Tut’s ourselves is pretty cool.”

And Andrew is full of support for the Summer Nights series as a whole.

“It’s summed up by the poster mentioning grassroots music,” he says.

“When you have these massive bands coming through and playing the Hydro, Academy, ABC every week then you don’t often get smaller bands on those bills. So it’s good to have a different side being really spotlighted in the city.”
