The Sutherland Bros: Where Are They Now
Martin Aston, Q, July 1994
ONCE UPON a time, there were two Scottish brothers, lain and Gavin Sutherland, peddlers of particularly earthy soft-rock fare with two albums on Island (1972's The Sutherland Brothers Band and Lifeboat). Once upon a time, too, Quiver, a guitar-tinged English quartet, released two albums on Warner Brothers before deciding they needed more songs and an out-front singer.
