Glasgow: Where Post-Rock meets industrial heritage

Glasgow's post-rock scene emerged from the city's post-industrial landscape in the early 1990s, offering a sonic reflection of its environment. What began with the glacial instrumentals of Mogwai has evolved into a diverse ecosystem spanning emotional intensity and textural exploration. The city's musical identity was shaped through pioneering labels like Chemikal Underground and Rock Action Records, creating global recognition for its atmospheric soundscapes. From legendary venues like King Tut's and Barrowland to modern spaces like The Hydro, Glasgow supports artists across their development. The city balances reverence for cornerstone acts like Arab Strap and Belle and Sebastian with enthusiasm for contemporary innovators such as CHVRCHES and Frightened Rabbit. This musical community remains fiercely independent while gaining international acclaim, creating a perfect environment for ambitious post-rock artists to develop their sound and find receptive audiences.
