Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Cancel the Astronauts
I first saw ‘Cancel the Astronauts’ last year in Edinburgh. Worryingly, the venue looked like a shabby school sports hall and there were cupcakes at the bar. Then when the band bounded on stage my only thoughts were: ‘The singer is wearing trackie bottoms? Well, this is going to be bollocks’. How wrong I was.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Dupec
It’s time for some ROCK! Dupec are an Edinburgh three piece rock outfit that I first came across after the We Were Promised Jetpacks name checked them in several interviews. Being the curious/nosey bugger that I am, I did a little digging and soon found myself hooked by their loud catchy tunes.
