Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Super Adventure Club
And now for something completely different. For those of a nervous disposition, this might be the time to look away, as you are about to enter the weird and wonderful world of the Super Adventure Club. Yes they’re on the same label as last weeks Scot Way-Hay’ers The Scottish Enlightenment, but the similarities end there.

Sparrow and the Workshop – ‘Crystals Fall’ Reviewed
Crystals Fall? How about Bear Wolf Crystal Fucks Fall, just to make it properly Pitchforky? Crystals bloody Fall my arse. Anyhow, I am not all that keen on the name, but that’s about all I can find wrong with this album, despite the fact that it does a lot of things I don’t like.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – The Scottish Enlightenment
I first came across the Scottish Enlightenment when their name kept cropping up in the “top friends” Myspace page of a lot of the bands that I like, (yes, I prefer Myspace over Facebook, because the majority of folk from school that I have no inclination to speak to don’t loiter on there).
