Location: The Hug and Pint

Welcoming in the new year with the best new music down at The Hug and Pint throughout January! Former ChampFormer Champ make rich, characterful and unabashedly anthemic songs dense with melody, experience, and the contradictions of contemporary life. Musically, there’s echoes of Teenage Fanclub’s melodic sixth sense, The Strokes’ early dichotomy of coolness and control, and the primary-coloured hedonism of Thin Lizzy. The five members of Former Champ are long-time friends, and here, they’re uniquely bound together by their drive to make a big musical swing, to give everything they have to a shared need to reach out into the world. The result is something muscular, unafraid, played and sung like the last thing the band will ever play. In previous bands, in previous times, the members of Former Champ may have been trepidatious, but there’s no time for that here. Dallas Love Field Fusing 90s shoegaze with pop sensibilities Dallas Love Fielddeliver a fast, loud yet ultimately dreamy and ethereal sound that allows fans to both move around and find themselves lost in lush guitar tones. Since their live debut in March 2023 the band have played a string of iconic Glasgow venues, including support for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsaziya/?hl=en" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Aziya</a>&nbsp;at SWG3 and Deb Googe of “My Bloody Valentine” at the Hug &amp; Pint.
