The Gracious Attempt are an indie/folk two-piece band from Glasgow. Since forming in June 2015 they have played in many venues across Scotland including two nights at the famous King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow.
The inspirations for their music come from mainly Scottish artists like Rachel Sermanni, Kathryn Joseph and Emma Pollock as well as other acts such as The Twilight Sad, King Creosote and Belle & Sebastian. They have been described as a “dark side to love songs” and likened to acts such as The Delgados.
The band consists of Gemma Matthews and Ciaran Boyle who offer a stripped back harmonic sound made up of only guitar, keyboard and vocals.
July 2016 saw the release of the band's self-recorded and self-produced EP ‘The Bridge’ which can be purchased, at a price of your choosing, from the link above.
The band also recently finished recording two singles at Edinburgh College which will be released soon.
