Over the Wall (band)
Over The Wall are a pop-rock-folk band based in Glasgow, Scotland. The outfit consists of multi-instrumentalists Ben Hillman and Gav Prentice, a line-up that has remained unaltered since its 2006 formation.
==Formation and musical style==
Prentice and Hillman met in student halls as freshers at the University of Glasgow, and began running a regular music evening at the Stereo bar (now a vegetarian cafe called The 78), on Kelvinhaugh Street in the West End. Having performed individually at these events, the pair soon began collaborating as a duo and quickly found their idiosyncratic-yet-natural niche: euphoric, folk-tinged pop music. The name 'Over The Wall' was taken from a now-defunct fanzine of Prentice's favoured football team Albion Rovers.
Over The Wall's sound is influenced by a range of different artists and genres. Prentice told ''The Scotsman'': "Ben and I first bonded over classic pop songwriting. Stuff like Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, early Tom Waits and The Beatles were the things that brought us together."〔(On the radar: Over The Wall - The Scotsman )〕 Former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel is also an inspiration to the pair.〔(Over the Wall: Working On a Dream | The Skinny )〕 Prentice has also gone on record as saying the aim of the Over The Wall 'experience' is to induce "Euphoria, the same euphoria you get from a trance compilation or any given chart hit but hopefully presented in a more thoughtful package."〔(Interview: Over the Wall Lazy Brighton )〕
Lyrically, the band has traversed a diverse range of topics and themes, including getting older, finding your place in the world, body image, and political history - often displaying chagrin at the influence of Margaret Thatcher's premiership.〔(TLOBF Interview // Over The Wall | The Line Of Best Fit )〕 The song "Istanbul" explores the effect of the half-time team talk given by then Liverpool F.C. manager Rafael Benitez during the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final, while "The Crucible" is a fictional story about the wife of a philandering snooker player, set in Sheffield's Crucible Theatre.〔
