1990s Scottish band who always sounded more American to me. They were in that sort of indie-rock vein, with a sound a little too heavy to be shoegaze and a little too experimental to be grunge. Not something I would have been hugely into, of course, but quite all right in small doses and when they weren't going out of their way to be unlistenable.
The 1994 Hand Passes Plenty EP was actually rather nice, showing a mellower side to them with more emphasis on the songwriting. The title track is a bit of a slow-grower, I think, but I was surprised at how much it did grow on me eventually.
