I'm thinking regardless of if they become big or not that doesn't really change us. Odds are Tarantino and Iglesias have foot fetishes, they're well known people this band would just add on to that list not really changing us. You will always have people for it and people against it.

I'll weigh in here for a moment, strictly to judge what I heard (leaving out such things as marketing...what a debacle that would be!). I do have some humble credentials in this regard.
I think that the individual tracks were recorded reasonably well. Each instrument and voice SEEMS to have been captured pretty well. Whoever EQ'd and mixed the tracks needs a little more schooling to acquire some of the finesse of Charles Manson.
Further, if I understand correctly that this is a band from Scotland, I have to guess that the singer is from the same area and of the same dialect. These are not people that are regarded highly (among English-speaking people) for their enunciation. To add medium-deep echo AND reverb to such an unintelligible brogue renders it indecipherable.
It's no brag to say that I could mix this stuff in a gymnasium with better results.
Musically, the chord progressions are prosaic, forced, and uninspired. The melody may still retain some Celtic essence, perhaps as sophisticated as "Ring-Around-the-Rosie".
On the bright side, they are trying. In the realm of music performance, one only learns from one's mistakes.
They appear to have made a bunch of those.
