The View

The View is a Scottish five-piece which originally formed as a cover band when its members were still in high school. After graduating, the group began writing its own material and garnered a record deal with a small local label. Within the year, in 2006, The View grabbed the attention of BBC Radio 1 and began receiving fairly extensive radio play. This catapulted the group to fame, won it multiple awards and grabbed it spots headlining huge arenas. Its distinctly Scottish, indie rock-meets-post punk style has since become a favorite throughout the UK.
