Marvel Heights
Marvel Heights are a 5-piece Alternative Rock outfit from Paisley, just outside Glasgow. The first incarnation of the band was formed in 2006 when three current members of the band Sarah Dyer (vocals), Neil Mulholland (guitar) and Andrew McMillan (drums) teamed up with some friends to play a show in their 4th year of high school. The band continued, known at this time as "The Heights", for around a year, writing songs which guitarist Neil now admits "sounded like every other indie band around", before bassist L.P and guitarist John Joe Sweeney left the band.

These departures gave way to current bassist Kevin McAtear and guitarist Adam Fraser. The band, now settled with its new line up, spent most of 2007 gigging and writing songs, that Neil believes "have the early hints at our [M.H's] sound as it is now", such as 'Get Up, Get Out!' and 'Teaser'. The band became "Marvel Heights" in January 2007 and by the end of the year they had decided that a "re-vamp" was required.

This 're-vamp' meant the band spent the first 5 months of 2008 writing new material and recording with producer Thomas McNiece (El Presidente, Gang Of Four). Neil told a local newspaper that this was when "we all started to work together on songs; we really found our sound and started to write the songs that we wanted to write". By late May 2008 the band had started to gig again, noticeably attracting more and more attention each time they played, and received their first radio air play as the new demos got a few plays on Xfm.

The band continues to gig currently as well as continually adding new material to their catalogue.
