Kindred spirits as cultural refugees on the tropical islands of Shetland, John Gair (drums), Reuben Quinn (guitar/vocals) and Jim Bevington (bass) found an outlet for their mutual rage in playing pop songs to strangers. Oscar Charlie (formerly known as Black Bic Biro), the product of this obsession, released their debut E.P in September 2007. In the summer of 2008, the three of them relocated to a dingy tenement in Glasgow, where they fell in with wayward electro soul, Jamie Miller (synths). The music of Oscar Charlie is heavily indebted to Jurassic Park.
