Inspired first by American soul and R\u0026amp;B; and later transformed by exposure to West Coast psychedelia through artists like Love and The Doors, the band developed a unique sound combining heavy organ-driven psych, proto-progressive experimentation, hard rock aggression and dramatic stagecraft. Fronted by the charismatic Linnie Paterson and powered by the dynamic interplay of Willy Finlayson, Bill Scott, Jake Scott and Jimmy Hush, Writing On The Wall quickly became notorious for their explosive concerts at legendary venues such as Middle Earth and The Marquee Club. Their intense performances earned support from BBC DJ John Peel, who invited the band to record multiple sessions for his influential Top Gear radio show. In 1969 the band released their sole album, The Power Of The Picts, on the short-lived Middle Earth label, linked to the hippie club with the same name. Today regarded as a cornerstone of British heavy psychedelic rock, the album fused dark Doors-inspired atmospheres, crushing Hammond organ, extended improvisation and proto-metal energy years ahead of its time.
