The Sunday Herald talks to Scottish bands about the influence of Glasgow's Orange Juice.
"The first Orange Juice single I bought was Blue Boy, the second single," says Teenage Fanclub’s lead singer and guitarist Norman Blake.

I found it pretty inspiring, I guess; I mean before them, I was listening to a lot of post-punk stuff, and then along came this group that was influenced by Buffalo Springfield and Al Green and soul music, but they were into punk stuff too, which was pretty liberating for a 15-year-old."
Ian Parton of Go! Team talks to the Japan Times.
