Writing in a pubs back room close to their housing estate, The Bayview gave the band their name and allowed them to get about making it as a young band in the real world. Considering they were all born after 1986 it may be considered odd by some that they state their songwriting influences as Crowded House, the Beatles & Squeeze.
With music the only means by which to put a roof over their heads and food on the table the band then began to live a MONKEES style existence, living and rehearsing in an old backstage room at the Doghouse, a well respected Dundee venue. These self taught, spontaneous kids casually blew away other established bands at every subsequent gig, and soon gathered massive local respect. The maniacal fans loyally followed, closely attached to the band.

I feel like its just meant to happen for us right now, says Peter. A small band from Dundee play two gigs and sign to a small Dundee label, a couple of months later they sign to a bigger label, then theres a major music festival in Dundee for the first time - and were on the bill! Not only that, but people are going mad for us. Its just meant to be. We used to read books about The Libertines and think to ourselves, Id love it if James Endeacott signed us, then a couple of weeks later, hes on the phone offering us a record contract. Its been totally weird.
Its only going to get weirder. Boasting an album of incredible songs, and ever-growing band of believers, the rest of the UK is about to find out what the residents of Dundee have known for some time (and have no qualms about making it audibly clear throughout every gig the band ever play) - The View Are On Fire!
