It is in their handling of the audience where the Dials excel. For the final song, 'Keep me running,' the audience are asked to sing back. Now, this is a risky business – a request often met by embarrassing silence for a relatively new band whose lyrics are yet to be well known. Imagine the surprise, then, when the crowd roar on demand, apparently mistaking the Dials for the global supergroup which they aren't – yet. In fact, this response isn't unreasonable: the Dials are already receiving accolades from established bands like The Kooks, Fratellis and Subways, the latter two of whom they have supported on tour. On the basis of tonight's performance such accolades are well deserved.

This month the band departs on a tour of Scotland but are set to return to Edinburgh on 8 March at Whistlebinkies. For those after a refreshing change from the generic tunes of daytime radio could do worse than dropping by. And if you don’t take my word take that of Pete Wentz (lead singer of Fall Out Boy): “The Dials are my favourite band in Scotland.”

And possibly, mine too. This is one band for whom the future could be very bright.
