Joe McAlinden aka linden

My name is Joe McAlinden. I used to have a band called Superstar who were originally signed to Creation Records in 1992 by Alan McGee and, up until 2000, released around seven albums. I have played/written/collaborated with many people including Teenage Fanclub, Big Star/Alex Chilton, The Boy Hairdressers, NOM, BMX Bandits, Matthew Sweet, Jim Lambie, Alan Warner, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and lots more. I continue to write and record music from my wee studio up here in Argyll and have just finished recording my new solo album at West Heath Yard, London with Edwyn Collins and Seb Lewsley. In a nutshell, that’s about it.
