Trilby set to rakish and suit trussed tight, Paul Smith leaps from the drum riser with a scissor kick and, just for a moment, it could be the cover of A Certain Trigger - the album being celebrated in Glasgow tonight.

Live review Scissor kicks and jaggy riffs trigger celebration of angsty debut LP

Maxïmo Park's debut is 21 years old. Has it come of age? Not exactly. It sounds very much of its time, all jaggy riff and angsty yelp. Yet the Newcastle band play the hell out of these songs. They sound better now than they did back in 2005.

They won't perform the album in full and in order, Smith explains. They'll throw in tracks from other records. “But you will probably hear 97% of it,” he reassures.
