Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Yahweh
The first time I heard Yahweh was back last year on the inaugural Under the Radar podcast, there was a lot of great tracks on the show, but for me this was the one that stood out. Later that week I found myself in Avalanche Records in Glasgow (now Love Music, although it will always […]

Silver Columns – ‘Yes And Dance’ Reviewed
I remember interviewing the Silver Columns up at Homegame this year and their combination of seriousness and playfulness struck me quite strongly. Whilst they came across as enjoying themselves hugely, and their approach to the songwriting process seemed light-hearted and not in any way precious, there was a definite undercurrent of something a little more […]

Interview with Hey Enemy
Hey Enemy are clearly on the path to success. They are my wife’s favourite Scottish band, they’ve been kidnapped my Detour Scotland and their arses have been photographed with Stuart Braithwaite. Next month they hit the road in Europe with Helsinki Seven and they recently spoke to Dear Scotland about the tour and more.

It’s a funny wee world. I have been running the Peenko blog for almost two years and I honestly can’t quite believe how many cracking local bands I have ‘discovered’. The one thing that I hadn’t fully expected was to have my little sister ask me if I had heard of one of her best […]

Swimmer One – ‘Dead Orchestras’ Reviewed
If you really want to become knowledgeable about music, the only way seems to be to read liner notes. I glanced at the ones which came with Swimmer One’s latest album and who should I see but Pete Harvey. Who I’ve seen onstage with The Leg, Meursault, Animal Magic Tricks, Willard Grant Conspiracy and Christ […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Call To Mind
I think I have started to notice a pattern to these posts, I have a tendency to find myself having back to back posts from bands of the same geographical areas. Last week I had Highland duo Bronto Skylift, and this week I have gone with another band from the same neck of the woods.
