Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Monoganon
In a recent conversation with Johnny Lynch aka the Pictish Trail, he described the new Monoganon album as “Mind-blowing!”. I really couldn’t argue with that summation, as ‘Songs To Swim To’, their forthcoming long player is one of the most stunning releases I have heard all year. Monoganon are fronted by John B McKenna, who […]

Scottish Bands at SXSW 2011 – The Scottish List and The SXSW Free Party List
One week to go and the [un]official SXSW free party list is out. Reading this list will give you a headache, such is the amount of bands, free booze and bbq listed. But that’s good practice if you plan to attend, because that’s how your head will feel all week.

Scotland on Tour with Vic Galloway: Kid Canaveral, Rachel Sermanni and Withered Hand in New York
As they travel the road towards SXSW and Austin’s new music extravaganza, some Scottish bands are taking the initiative to book some shows before and after the event. This makes sense in a load of ways. They’re in the USA already, the travel costs have been paid and they might even help earn some cash […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Mondegreen
I know I have said this plenty of times before, but I often find that the best way to discover new music is by listening to the recommendations of bands that you like. Mondegreen first came to my attention after we’re only afraid of NYC started raving about them. I actually saw them live for […]

Toad Session: Rob St. John
We actually recorded this Toad Session in the Queen Charlotte Rooms in Leith before the Song, by Toad Christmas Party back in December. Partly this was because it seemed like a fun thing to do, and partly because swapping our traditional and rather overpowering turquoise backdrop for their Christmas lights and tinsel. Also, we had […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – PAWS
I know that I am sucker for indie-folk bands, but I do still love my rock, in fact the scuzzier the better. One such band that have been exciting me a lot over the past six months are Glasgow three-piece PAWS. It was the fuzzed up pop joy of “Violent Vicky Violet” that first brought […]
