For nearly 20 years, post-rock band Mogwai have been a fixture on Glasgow's music scene.

Since forming in 1995, the five-piece band – known for their moody instrumentals – have gone from playing the pubs and venues of their home town to commanding an international audience drawn in by their dreamy, melancholic and increasingly electronic sound.

This year the band released their eighth studio album, Rave Tapes, along with performances in London's Royal Festival Hall – testament to how far the band has come over the past two decades.

They've put together this selection of tracks from 10 different bands that capture the classic Glasgow scene.

  • Mogwai are headlining The Last Big Weekend at Richmond Park in Glasgow on 30 August, eastendsocial.com
