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).

Burnt Island – ‘Music and Maths’ Reviewed
There’s something wonderfully uncomplicated about this gorgeous EP by Burnt Island. It’s not simplistic or basic or anything like that, it just has a confidently slow pace and an effortless manner – they just make it all seem so easy.
