Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Tokyo Knife Attack
It was the great people of the Glasgow Podcart that first introduced me to the synthpop sounds of Tokyo Knife Attack, or Craig Bell as he’s known to real life people, at the Podcart Christmas party last year. My memories of that evening are of hearing a synth version of Arcade Fire’s ‘Tunnels’ and then […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Meursault
For the majority of the folk that visit this site, Meursault will be a band with whom you are very familiar. If you haven’t come across the Edinburgh ‘folktronica’ outfit then you are in for a bit of a treat. Their debut album, ‘Pissing On Bonfires/Kissing With Tongues’ was one my personal favoiurites in 2009 […]
