Myles MacInnes, born 1978 on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, has
a trajectory that takes in a childhood on the Isle of Skye, low life in London
and Paris and academia in Oxford and Los Angeles. In 2001, he returned to
Scotland with one purpose – to submerge himself in music. The startling debut
album, Destroy Rock & Roll demonstrates that MacInnes is equally happy
warming the soul as he is rocking the dancefloor. “I’m just having fun in the
studio,” he begins. “It’s got to have impact, otherwise I just don’t see the
point”. Listening to his debut album, ‘Destroy Rock & Roll’ it’s obvious
that impact isn’t his only weapon. The high-octane guitar chords, heavy-duty
beats and raucous vocals of Destroy Rock & Roll, Muscle Car and Drop The
Pressure are backed by the sun-kissed chords and Bay Area beats of tracks like Sunworshipper
and Need You Tonight. While In My Arms harks back to his soft rock radio days. Growing
up on Skye, one of the furthest flung corners of Europe, MacInnes couldn’t be
too choosy about his sources of music. “Basically we had Atlantic 252,” he
explains. “It was this kind-of soft rock station on long-wave. We all believed
it to be transmitted from a boat floating out in the mid-Atlantic.” Music
continued to be part of his life when he left the island to go to Oxford
University.Listen song here:YouTube
