イギリス、グラスゴー出身の彼らStapleton(ステープルトン)は2000年のデビュー以来、Idlewildや、The Get Up Kids、Hundred Reasonsなどからの熱心な誘いを受けてイギリス中をツアーしてきた。

グラスゴーといえばTFCやBMX Bandits、The Primary 5がそうなようにギターポップの聖地として有名だが、彼らのサウンドは、どこをどう聴いてもアメリカのインディーバンド。暖かくて優しく、かつ多彩なサウンドはイギリスで多くのポストロック、インディーファンに絶大な支持を得て”Death Cab For CutieがBiffy Clyroを介してGrandaddyに出会った”と称される。

2002年にはベストニュースコティッシュアワードを勝ち取るなど控えめなサウンドながら熱狂的に迎えられていることが伺える。

プロデューサーにあのJ.Robbins(Jimmy Eat World, Braid, Promise Ring)、アートワークにJesse LeDoux(The Shins, Pedro the Lion)を迎えたジャパンデビューアルバム"Hug The Coast"は2曲のボーナストラック追加収録して2007年3月リリース予定!

Buzz
Scottish four-piece Stapleton feel like a warm cup of hot indie chocolate in front of an open punk fire on a cold, wet emo day. Frontman Al Paxton has a nice way with wordplay, double entendres and the like, never overdoing it and being, dare I say it, pretentious. From the ebbing of 'The Storm You Never Knew About Blew Half the Island Into the Sea' to the flowing of 'Between The Lions' this album is wholly unpretentious, cute and clever.
Indigo Flow
Now sporting a 2nd guitarist and new bassist, Stapleton release their best album to date. Packed full of instantly memorable tunes in the vein of Death Cab For Cutie, Mineral and The Get Up Kids, Hug The Coast is moving, invigorating and extremely uplifting. Songs like Full Beams Down The Mountain display a band whose current fanbase size belies their immense talent. It doesn't have to be this way, you can help.
Play Dead, Issue 18
There's no band on this isle making tunes like this... What we have here is a beautiful, understated work of genius. It's the record Stapleton always threatened to make, but it took a little while to get there... For those who love their music simple, understated and full of great melodies, you can't really go wrong.
