Roys Iron DNA are an indie band based in the Scottish Borders, North Northumberland and Edinburgh. The band's name, Roys Iron DNA, is a tribute to lead songwriter Ian Thompson's grandfather- Roy S. Thompson, former Sheriff of Berwick upon Tweed. ==Career== The band was formed by friends Ian Thompson and Luke Mallet, and were originally known as Ordinaryson. They later changed their name to reflect the more electronic nature of the music. The ''NME'' has praised the band for blending "musical ideas from the 60s the punk era right through to contemporary electronica, trip hop at its darkest. This is a very interesting band”. After years of extensive touring of the UK and self funded single and EP releases, they released their debut album ''Men In Wax Jackets'' in November 2007 on indie label, Alex Tronic Records. On its release, the album was awarded favourable reviews in the press, with the ''Daily Record'' saying “they are music for toasting yourself after a heavy night in Ibiza” and Scottish music magazine ''Is This Music?'' compared them to the Beta Band, noting it is "heavy on the beats, strong on the air of mystery". One track from the album, "Reason", was described by ''The Fly'' magazine as "single of the year". ''Men In Wax Jackets'' was named album of the month by DJ Vic Galloway on his show on BBC Radio 1. To promote the album, Roy's Iron DNA toured the UK with the Lo-Fidelity Allstars and The Go! Team on separate tours. Their 2nd album 'Under my Skin' was released in 2013 and featured a series of remixes from top Scottish producers including - Optimo (JD Twitch), Stanley Odd, DFRNT and Atom Tree. On Monday 1st June 2015 Roy's Iron DNA (a musical collective and live band from the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh) will release their first augmented reality album, "Exposure". The album will be released as a tabloid style newspaper with each page scannable with a smart-phone app enabling the reader to play an individually commissioned video for each track from the album. 10,000 copies of the newspaper will be distributed to 250+ outlets across the length and breadth of Scotland and will be entirely free of charge. Available in pubs, clubs, cafes and hang-outs the publication will herald a new dawn for album releases. Commissioning independent film-makers from across Scotland, the project has already engaged a wide range of creatives from art students to professional production houses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roys Iron DNA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
