The Resurrection Club make music that sounds like distance and belonging at once. After decades apart, two friends and ex-bandmates from Glasgow, Martin McLeish and Morris Fraser, have found their shared language again. Recorded between Barcelona, Edinburgh, and Melbourne, digitally connected but analog in spirit, their album ‘Survival’ is a quiet miracle of endurance: music born from isolation, exhaustion, and rediscovery.

After disbanding their band The Plastic Flies in the early 80’s, their lives took very different turns. Martin built a successful business in Spain’s alcohol industry; whilst Morris worked in public service in Scotland on alcohol-harm policy, while personally battling alcoholism and agoraphobia. Both changed, endured, and survived, but never lost their creative instincts.

Their reconnection after nearly 40 years wasn’t just musical; it was an act of courage, the rediscovery of a musical language they once shared, and a reminder that creativity doesn’t expire, it only waits to be reignited. Mike (Spike) Paterson, their original bandmate from The Plastic Flies, contributes guitars and inspiration from Melbourne, another link back to where it all began.

OFFICIAL BIO
From 1979 to 1983 Morris, Martin and Mike were in a band in Scotland called The Plastic Flies and they earned their fame playing the pubs, clubs and Universities around the country. The influential John Peel from BBC Radio 1 loved their debut single and they featured as support to THE CLASH on two separate tours in Scotland… here is their story…

“We didn’t want to reform a band,” says Martin. “We wanted to resurrect our creative outlet.”

Made without AI, ‘Survival’ values truths over trends. In an increasingly disposable culture, sincerity itself becomes rebellion.

The next single, ‘Survival Pt 1’, captures the heartbeat of the record, its lyric “I’m not giving up, am I waiting on a miracle?” embodies the album’s defiant optimism and emotional core.

Their earlier single ‘Every Second Counts’ found unexpected life online, trending on Instagram, embraced by younger listeners, and discovering its largest audience in Brazil. It proved that connection can cross generations, genres, and geography both in creation and appreciation.

Even the name tells the story: Resurrection for renewal, Club for inclusion, because they believe that anyone who still believes music can (and sometimes should) say something is already a member.
