The Lathums rock Glasgow TRNSMT 2025 before intimate gig
Their sound was as smooth as the material draping their platform.
Golden microphone stands galore, they brought their blend of guitar-heavy rock to Glasgow Green.
Perhaps in a mismatch of scheduling,g as they were competing with the likes of Scottish favourite Nina Nesbitt.
Or the victims of a crowd eagerly awaiting acts like Jade and Gracie Abrams later in the day - it was a quieter gathering than they deserved.

Say My Name highlighted them at their best - belting vocals and guitar riffs and solos shredding across the sun-soaked park.
Blending between full-force rock tracks and indie numbers in the style of fellow English bands like The Courteeners, their depth of sound sets them apart.
Their frontman, dressed in a cowboy hat, sunglasses, and a 70s-style cardigan, has an incredible voice, and the band provides harmonic backing that layers their sound.
There's No Time At All was a highlight and got the mid-afternoon crowd dancing out of their lull.
Singalong 'La La La La La, make peace not war' got the crowd further on side, and the crowds that had covered the sun seemed to be sung away.
Rhythmically tight and with blistering solos, they're a no-nonsense guitar, drums and bass band.

The Lathums are heading into the city centre tonight to play at King Tut's for an after-festival party.
Fans heading there are in for an absolute treat from this six-piece sensational band.
I'm sure that the hundreds that gathered at TRNSMT will have been turned into fans - I certainly was.
And I've no doubt that they're a band that'll be back at Glasgow's festival - hopefully playing to a packed crowd like they deserve.
