Touche Amore, ANGEL DU$T & Departures @ Glasgow Stereo – 20/02/2017
By Liam Menzies (@blinkclyro) As the queue to the only Scottish date of Touche Amore‘s tour stretched around onto Union Street, it was obvious that tonight’s gig was going to be pretty special. Taking place at the intimate and claustrophobic Stereo venue, which in itself is a total juxtaposition of the lovely and well-kempt vegan cafe above,…

VISTAS @ KING TUTS -08/02/2017
By Liam Menzies (@blinkclyro) When your band is currently accumulating upwards of 90,000 listeners per month in addition to being added to countless Spotify playlists, it would be no surprise if your ego was to take over. However, as Prentice Robertson, frontman of Edinburgh rock-pop outfit Vistas, revealed last night, the lucky lads are just as humble…

PUP + TRASH BOAT @ QMU – 04/02/2017
By Liam Menzies (@blinkclyro) Seeing as both Canadian punk act PUP and British pop punkers Trash Boat had an amazing with 2016 with the release of The Dream Is Over and I Know That Nothing I Write You Can Change What You’ve Been Through respectively, it was a no-brainer that The Wonder Years would invite the…

TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB @ BARROWLANDS- 03/02/17
By Liam Menzies (@blinkclyro) Having been in hiding for what seemed like a lifetime, which in reality was only four years but a few months can feel like a year in the music world, Irish rock outfit Two Door Cinema Club returned to Scotland with a whole new sound and, for frontman Alex Trimble, a whole…

TRNSMT Just Announced Their Lineup And The Internet Is Happy
By Liam Menzies (@blinkclyro) In stark contrast to the sub-par reception to the Reading and Leeds announcement, the reveal of the very first TRNSMT festival line-up has been received with sheer positivity. With the festival being hyped up as a replacement to T In The Park, more on that later, TRNSMT have one-upped the long…

By Liam Menzies (@blinkclyro) Much like every year, King Tuts, one of the greatest small venues in not only Scotland but the whole of the UK, has got its annual New Years Revolution underway.

DEATH GRIPS @ GLASGOW SWG3 – 14/10/16
By Liam Menzies (@blinkclyro) Well, I can openly admit that I never expected to be writing this review in my lifetime. Not that I’m not a fan of Death Grips (you’ll find it’s quite the opposite due to the repeated presence on my AOTY lists), more so that the experimental hip hop rock band seem…

GIG REVIEW: Yuck @ Broadcast
Putting on a performance that went down better than the price of a vodka mix on a Saturday night, shoegaze Londoners Yuck traversed any pitfalls that comes with playing in such an intimate venue. Glasgow’s Broadcast offers very little moving space as the band members practically have the audience breathing down their necks. Thankfully, any…

RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW: Hector Bizerk @ West Of The Moon
Scottish hip hop was the focus in Ayr on February 22nd, a sentence I never thought I’d ever have to type in my career as a journalist (first time for everything, eh?). Having supported some genre heavyweights like Wu-Tang Clan and MF DOOM, Hector Bizerk were all set to take The West Of The Moon by…

GIG REVIEW: CHVRCHES + The Twilight Sad @ SSE Hydro
Things really couldn’t be going any better for synth pop act CHVRCHES. Starting off as a little band from Glasgow producing EPs full of fluttery, vivid beats with equally beautiful vocals, they followed it up with two LPS that were full of charm, great production and, more importantly, the same energy and passion they displayed…
