Foggy City Orphan formed in early 2015 in a Glasgow basement. They will mark their first anniversary with the launch of their debut single, Rocket, on February 1st, to a sold out King Tuts Wah Wah Hut.
It’s been a remarkable first year for the band.
Jim Gellatly, cited Foggy City Orphan as one of his bands to watch in 2016. BBC’s Tom Robinson then chose them as a featured band on his BBC Introducing show. Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music has been championing the single while Billy Sloan from BBC Radio Scotland called it 'the best thing I've heard in the last 5 years' . Now they’re releasing debut single ‘Rocket’ in an attempt to launch their career and plant a flag on the dark side of Planet Pop. The song’s incessantly catchy chorus has the sort of hook that will orbit the listener’s mind for days.
