Biography

Hats Off to the Buskers stormed UK number one with youthful velocity.

Same Jeans became terrace-chant indie staple coast to coast.

Later albums chased mod-rock polish while keeping live looseness.

Lossless streams keep amp grind, crash wash, and dual vocal fray.

The View formed in Dundee with Kyle Falconer, Pete Reilly, Kieren Webster, and Steven Morrison. Hats Off to the Buskers (2007) included Wasted Little DJs, Superstar Tradesman, and Same Jeans. It reached number one in the UK.

Which Bitch? (2009), Bread and Circuses (2011), and Cheeky for a Reason (2012) followed. The Scottish band's rowdy anthems have a loyal base.
