Uter is a three-piece band from Glasgow playing electronic noise-pop in a lo-fi style. Uter (Declan Roney joined by Martin Johnstone and Marceline Smith) have been playing live for around two years but studio-related business, which is mainly done by Declan, has been an ongoing thing since 1998. A self-funded single Vibrato was released in 1999 followed a short while later in 2004 by Tomorrow's Clowns, a 4 track 12" on OSCarr (run by Glasgow's celebrated Optimo club). The single was received well with comparisons to Kraftwerk, My Bloody Valentine, the Jesus and Mary Chain and New Order.

Uter also contributed one track to a double 7" box set by local label Asking For Trouble. Further recordings for OSCarr are in progress including a 7" to be released later in 2006. Uter have played live shows across the UK with a range of bands including Wolf Eyes, Jens Lekman, The Organ, Errors and Pro Forma, and have also played at Optimo.
