SPIRAL Minds have tasted a little success during a highland fling well north of the border.

The Darwen five-piece, who take their influences from the last three decades, last week appeared on a radio station in Campbelltown, Scotland.

After generating interest in their work, the lads were offered a deal on a very small independent label which they have declined.

The band have also been confirmed to play at King Street WMC in Accrington, on August 18 with tickets on sale from the band or venue priced £3.
