- Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay – The Artists’ Albums of the Year (Part 1) As it’s that time of year when every man and his dog is drawing up their end of year album lists, I thought I’d ask some of the bands that have done interviews for us this year as part of Scots Way-Hay, to tell me about their favourite albums of 2010.
- The Douglas Firs – ‘Haunting Through’ EP Reviewed The Douglas Firs played their first ever set a month or so ago, in support of eagleowl at the latter’s EP launch. And just in case you didn’t think that the Edinburgh alt-folk scene was so incestuous that it is probably fucking itself, never mind a close relative, what is nominally a solo project was […]
- Eagleowl – ‘Into the Fold’ EP Reviewed My descent into rabid eagleowl fanboydom has been as slow a build as the climax of any of their songs. The first time I heard them play I really liked it.

Radio 1’s Vic Galloway has more on Calvin along with the only listing of every Scottish gig around the world this week:
- Meursault New Singles and European Tour Meursault’s new singles are out now and the Edinburgh band have just announced their first European tour. Full dates and ticket details are below. The records are released on Matthew’s own Song by Toad label but he still manages to give us a relatively unbiased review:
- eagleowl – ‘Sleep the Winter’ Reviewed It’s hard to review this single, not because the basics aren’t pretty clear (it’s lovely, I like it a lot, go and buy it please) but because I am finding it very hard to figure out how to express exactly what I feel about this record. Actually, scratch that, I am finding it very hard […]
- Withered Hand (and Charity) Win at Christmas Dan Willson is a clever fucker, really he is. I always think indie Christmas music fails somewhat, primarily because all the pain and unhappiness which I tend to like in music clashes with what tiny of fragment of Christmas spirit may still survive within me.
