King Post Kitsch – ‘Monomaniac’ Reviewed
The only time I have met him, enigmatic, reclusive Scot Charlie from King Post Kitsch… no, wait sorry. Actually Charlie did introduce himself at the Meursault album launch down at the Old Queen’s Head a couple of months ago, and enigmatic and reclusive he most certainly was not.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – The Son(s)
There’s a certain amount of irony in me posting about a band called The Son(s) in the week that I had a beautiful baby daughter. But that’s enough about my private (or not so private) life, on to The Son(s), one of the greatest bands in Scotland that you’ve probably still to have heard of.

Bottle of Evil – ‘Bottle of Evil’ Reviewed
This self-titled, self-released debut album has made such an immediate positive impact on everyone I’ve played it to that I’ve deliberately held back on writing this review for a bit, just to be sure I didn’t get too swayed by other people’s enthusiasm and could actually react for myself.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – A Band Called Quinn
I’ve featured a lot of indie folk-pop bands recently, so I thought it was about time that I branched out a little. A Band Called Quinn are most certainly pop, but there’s no folk to be had here, this is electro-pop done at it’s finest.

Kid Canaveral – ‘Shouting at Wildlife’ Reviewed
The launch of this album was, entirely unsurprisingly, one of most enjoyable gigs I’ve been to in a long time. I think Lloyd from Peenko was officially having The Most Fun He Has Ever Had, it was sweaty as fuck, and the whole experience was just fantastic.
