Ali and Billy Strange are cousins from Glasgow’s East End. Together they are Acting Strange, making raw lo-fi guitar music but never deviating too far from their pop sensibilities – the pair embody the spark of a young Lee Mavers and the more playful (less heroin-y) Velvets tracks.

First single Rumble evokes the classic songwriting of the 1960s, jangly rhythm and blues reminiscent of Merseybeat acts – all performed by a band who cite The Simpsons as their central cultural influence.
