Hiding Place were a rock band from the self described "slums of East Kilbride", Scotland.[1]
History
The band comprised singer Paul McCallion, guitarists JayJay and Del Robertson Somerville, and Doug Smith, with Pitchshifter drummer Jason Bowld joining in 2004. They were previously known as Quarantine and once opened for lostprophets at the Glasgow Cathouse. [2]
The band's debut release was the At One Time or Another EP in 2004. They toured in support of InMe and released "(What if) the Truth Looks Clearer Empty" later that year.[2] They toured with The Rasmus and opened for Metallica, and "Cruel Kindness" followed in November 2004.[3][4][5]
McCallion and Bowles were also part of the 'supergroup' This Is Menace, along with members of Pitchshifter, Therapy?, Hundred Reasons, Funeral for a Friend and Carcass.[6]
Del and Jayjay went on to form the short lived alternative rock outfit Black Arc before retiring their musical careers and embarking upon further education. They are now established wedding photographers working under the moniker The Canon Twins and founding Del and JJ Wedding Photography.[citation needed]
