Zed Penguin – ‘Four Track Mind’ EP Reviewed
There’s a lot of talk in the media at the moment about the death of rock ‘n’ roll and whether or not this year will see some sort of rebirth of guitar music and so on and so forth. The whole debate seems to centre on the wrong subjects, for the most part, not least […]

You Have Been Watching…A Woman in Winter
Sometimes you stumble across a band, book or film and think ‘how did I miss that?’. Discovering Richard Jobson’s Bafta nominated 2005 film A Woman in Winter prompted me to ask that question as it’s a film that should be seen.

LEMMINGS
“Disgusting and cowardly.” “Pile of pish.” “Absolute gash.” “Twats.” These are just some of the comments I’ve seen from friends in response to the Scottish Premier League’s likely new format: a ten-team league. I’d add a few more: cowardly, short-sighted, and suicidal.

Interview with Findo Gask
About this time last year Findo Gask were, in my opinion, just about the most promising band in Scotland. Their unusual take on electro disco pop seemed to appeal to the indie kids as much as to the dancefloor, and with Vic Galloway and Muslim Alim putting them forward as one of two recommended Scottish […]

You Have Been Watching…The Near Room
Glasgow Noir. A surprisingly small genre. The city lends itself to the dark shadows, dodgy characters and indecipherable dialogue that noir demands. I don’t doubt that one of the reasons for Taggart’s long running success is down to the noirish qualities of the city of Glasgow.
