Enter to win a Levi's Jacket from The View

Musically, the history of Dundee, Scotland isn't exactly littered with success stories. Indeed, the city has only two notable additions to the pop canon: The Associates and The Average White Band. But all that is about to change with the advent of The View, the city's newest and greatest white hopes. Four alarmingly young (average age: 18) friends from the same housing estate, The View are comprised of Kyle, Keiren, Peter and Steve and formed from the ashes of an old covers band they formed at school, playing everything from Squeeze to The Sex Pistols. After deciding just over a year ago that their ambitions stretched considerably further than hawking "Up The Junction" around the pubs and clubs of Dundee, they began writing and rehearsing their own songs in the backroom of their local, The Bayview Bar (hence the band's name). They soon settled into a "Monkees-like existence" of playing and writing together to the exclusion of much else.

The last gang in town spirit comes across in their brilliantly bombastic debut album Hats Off To The Buskers - 14 songs bursting with scrappy, swaggering teen spirit.

Prizes:

2 winners each get:
1 Levi's jacket*, 1 view t-shirt, and 1 copy of the album, "Hats off to the Buskers"
*only 1 female and 1 male jacket is available for prizing. The choice is subject to availability.
