History
editGlasgow was formed in the city of Glasgow in 1982, taking their band name from their city of origin.[2][3] They released their first demo, Glasgow, in 1983,[4] followed by the EP Glasgow's Miles Better in 1984.[5] They recorded some material in a London studio after they signed a production deal in August 1986.[6] Glasgow's first full-length LP Zero Four One was released in 1987,[7][8] before the band parted ways in 1988.[3][9][10]
In 2009 Glasgow reformed, without Mick Boyle, as a tribute to their former drummer Joe Kilna who died that year.[11] Glasgow reformed again in 2021.[12] Also in 2021 their full length album, Zero Four One, was reissued on the Pride & Joy label.[13][14][15]
