Erin Reidy (Brontës) interview – 'We write our best songs when we're at our most vulnerable'

<p>Erin Reidy joins me this week to talk about life in Brontës, who have built a steady buzz since bursting on to the Scottish scene in 2022 with their double A-side debut single, featuring life-affirming indie anthem First Hand Arrogance. (It’s a track I included when compiling the best 45 singles from Glasgow acts for Record Collector; yes, it’s <em>that </em>good.) </p><p>Several line-up changes – and a critic-flooring, self-titled debut album later – the tight-knit four-piece are once again on manoeuvres, a mini-UK tour scheduled for later this year. </p><p>In this week&#39;s episode, Erin talks great gigs, bad dates and the joys of being in one of the best new bands in Scotland.</p><p>You can sign up here for the Scotpop newsletter on ⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://scotpop.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> - featuring extended shownotes, behind the scenes info, Scottish music news stories and the best new bands.</p><p>For the latest news on the podcast and music updates, make sure to follow Scotpop on:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/allanjglen/?hl=e" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/allan-glen-1228496b/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615843776347565" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href=" https://x.com/allanglen1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>If you have any queries about sponsorship opportunities, you can email me at scotpoppodcast@gmail.com. </p>
