Cosmic Rough Riders are a Glasgow based band formed in 1998 around the partnership of Stephen Fleming and ex-member Daniel Wylie. They released two self-written and self-produced albums on their own label, entitled "Deliverance" (1999) and "Panorama" (2000). Both of the albums received outstanding reviews in the music press, generating excitement from the independent music scene. Cosmic Rough Riders duly signed a one album license deal with Poptones Records.
Each UK single release in 2001 earned them increasing numbers of fans, and their non-stop touring ensured the band's growth. Their efforts paid off when the third single "Revolution (In The Summertime?)" went straight into the UK charts at number 35. This was followed by "The Pain Inside" which entered at number 36.
Cosmic Rough Riders toured constantly throughout 2001, notching up over 150 gigs. They also appeared as guests of the Black Crowes, Ocean Colour Scene, Stereophonics, Paul Weller and U2.
