Album Review: Codist – Nuclear Family
New Years Resolution for this site: stop starting every article about new bands by creating context about how music in Scotland is thriving. We all know that by now and while it may have become a cliché, it’s not become any less true: King Tuts have a whole month just dedicated to up and coming…

Track review: Savages – Adore
Savages are not a conventional “girl band” in the way that the likes of Little Mix are. In fact, the use of that term seems obsolete as the London-based act pack tracks with such brutish force that they put most other bands in the genre to shame, helping to destroy this stereotype of female groups…

Skinny Dream by New Girls track review
Not even one day into 2016 and we’ve already been graced with some amazing new music from the likes of Kanye West, getting the new year off with a bang! It’s not just AAA acts who are treating music fans today though as shown by Gender punk band New Girls. Based in Ayr/Glasgow, not too…

Straight Outta Drongan: An Echo Valley Interview
Ayrshire band Echo Valley tell all from Limmy jokes to the challenges of musical image It’s a Thursday night and as most people are heading home from uni and college to get ready for student nights out, I’m sitting at a bar table with Liam and Shaun McCluskey. The bar, to be specific, is none other…

BCAYMI: November 2015
When I attempted, and failed, to make my series Blink (Clyro) And You’ll Miss It into a monthly thing, I kinda fucked it up. Despite being one of my most popular posts, there was something about it that just didn’t sit with me right, like the potential it had just wasn’t being used. Now after a…

Sweet White gig w/ Monet EP review
As I walked into the Edinburgh venue Peterhead band Sweet White were playing at, there was an overwhelming sense that something wasn’t quite right. “It looks like something out of Twin Peaks” quipped frontman Jake Cordiner as the band to prepared to go on stage. As they began to play, the same amazing surrealism that…

Antique Pony – Unalbum review
It seems like I never grow tired of going on about local and upcoming bands. Whether it be my fanboying of Codist a few weeks back after seeing them for the first time at The West Of The Moon or the raving review I gave Sweet White in my first and only (so far) blink…

CHVRCHES – Every Open Eye review
You’d think with the overwhelming success of their debut album that Scottish act CHVRCHES would be on their way to spend tons on a new studio to further expand their sound. You’d also think that there was no way an album as simple yet deep as Every Open Eye was recorded in a flat in Glasgow…

Echo Valley, Codist, Enemies Of The State & Brothers @ West Of The Moon – 23/09/2015
Ayr isn’t short of talent. The wee town in South Ayrshire has its history pretty much built on it, whether it be the amazing buildings scattered around the town, being home to the Gaiety Theatre where many young ones and old ones have a great time at the pantomime or being the place where Robert…

Bring Me The Horizon – That’s The Spirit review
A few months back, functioning on a sugar high from too many cheap energy drinks, I reviewed Sheffield rock band Bring Me The Horizon’s new EP Throne which showcased the eponymous track as well as Happy Song. I was surprised to say the least, less about the fact it was a sweet but short release…
