“I Wish I Was James Bond†is taken from the band’s double platinum selling, number 1 album ‘Scouting For Girls’, released in September 2007. The band are the biggest new band of the year and the second biggest selling British band of 2008.
This summer has seen Scouting For Girls play to over 500,000 people across the summer festivals and at the Olympic Games handover party. Drawing the biggest festival crowds and selling out venues faster than any other British act this year, Scouting For Girls have shown themselves not only to be the biggest new band of the year, but the most popular live act too.
Over the past twelve months, songwriter Roy Stride has become one of the greatest live performers in recent years. A true entertainer and captivating frontman, Roy’s ability to conjure widespread audience participation amongst thousands whilst delivering a collection of hugely infectious hits is unrivalled.
Whilst Britain undergoes an extensive period of uncertainty both politically and economically, it is the music of Scouting For Girls that can lift the nation’s spirits with their hugely upbeat sunshine pop.
