The station that charted AC Acoustics most often is John Peel (BBC Radio 1), with 2 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 1996.
AC Acoustics came out of Glasgow and spent their whole run on independent labels, turning out a string of singles, EPs and albums before splitting up in 2003. Paul Campion, David Gormley, Mark Raine and Caz Riley made up the band.
Victory Parts, released in 1997 on Trance Syndicate, holds both "Stunt Girl" and "I Messiah, Am Jailer". It's alternative rock with a moody Scottish chill: guitars that loom and sprawl, songs that build tension before they give any of it back, and titles as cryptic as the music is heavy.
