about

Curators formed in Edinburgh from the ashes of various bands in late 2008.

They wrote and rehearsed furiously before sharing stages with Wintersleep, Pulled Apart By Horses, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Little Comets and The Primitives among others, winning great reviews and support from Is This Music?, Jim Gellatly, Vic Galloway and various blogs as well as airplay across the country including Radio 1.

Buoyed by this success, the band holed themselves up at Tape Studio in Leith in December of 2009 to begin work on their debut album with Stephen Watkins. Regularly recording into the early hours of the morning, the songs were tracked live and then honed over the months that followed as the band fought to balance their work with their blossoming new record.

The band finally emerged with Is This A Private Fight?, a record released on Anti-Manifesto bursting with ten noisy pop songs about conflict, love, belief, anger, disappointment and optimism.

Ten years after the record’s release, Jon and Gary have revisited these songs and reinvented them, once again balancing home life, work and music as they emailed ideas back and forth.

We now present Was This A Private Fight?, the fruits of that labour.

Adding a song a week, we will celebrate the ten year anniversary of our debut album by re-imagining the songs. They meant a lot to us then, and they still do now. We hope you enjoy them.

“Anthemic stadium rock” - Vic Galloway
“Perfectly executed guitar tunes big on anthemic choruses and catchy hooks” – Is This Music?
“Anthemic, no nonsense indie rock” – Kowalskiy
“Crazy power pop/rock, heaps of energy” – Infectious Records
