Hipsway were a Scottish pop/rock band.
The band was formed in Glasgow in 1984 by ex-Altered Images guitarist Johnny McElhone on bass, and featuring Grahame Skinner (vocals), Pim Jones (guitar) and Harry Travers (drums).[1] Their music was characterized by Skinner’s deep vocals and Jones’ tight guitar playing. They were quickly signed up by Mercury Records and by 1985 had released their first, eponymously-titled album.[1] The album was a moderate success in the UK Albums Chart; while the single, “Honeythief”, made number 17 in the UK Singles Chart,[2] and also reached the Top 20 in the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Another song from the album, “Tinder”, became well-known in Scotland as the soundtrack to a McEwan’s Lager commercial.
However the band failed to build on its success; McElhone left to found Texas, and by the time the second album Scratch the Surface was recorded, Travers had also left (to be replaced by Stephen Ferrera).[1] Released in 1989, the album was not as critically or commercially successful as its predecessor, and the band split up shortly afterwards.[1]
Skinner and Jones subsequently went on to found the band Witness, before Skinner joined former members of Glasgow peers Love and Money in the band, Cowboymouth.[1]

Anyone interested in the album by Witness give me a shout, they were a spin off from Hipsway.
