Take The Skitters Bowling, Take Them Bowling
June 17, 2013 By
Gig tickets stacking up, more still to buy, and a not-so-new band I’ve just heard. It’s been one of those days where fuzzy logic takes over. If you tolerate this, then your rebel skitters will be next. Oh, and Lucky Dragons play Dundee courtesy of Cry Parrot promotions!More »
The Return Of Jetplane Landing
June 16, 2013 By
JETPLANE LANDING is back in action with new album “Don’t Try”. The hipsters won’t like it but in Mad Max territory they like their bands not to be afraid of rocking out. Between Refused and Les Savy Fav is a destination carved out over three previous albums which spells HONESTLY, WE DON’T GIVE A FUCK. More »
GIANT FANG Play First Ever Live Show for Aqualung Single Launch
June 15, 2013 By
Adjective-driven synth pop from GIANT FANG missed out on the name dropping during the recent piece on Discopolis and Scottish pop. With new single Aqualung launching next Thursday, being less shit than The Temper Trap is reason enough to get the highlighter pen out.More »
Big Deal, Garden of Elks @ Broadcast, Glasgow 13th June
June 14, 2013 By
LIVE REVIEW: Indie slackers Big Deal evoke the spirit of Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr with a poppier delivery while band members Underwood and Costelloe sing in unison. They’re like the physical embodiment of the song 1979. If only we could do something about the tumbleweed. More »
Fat Goth Summer Festival Shows & Torche Support Dates
June 13, 2013 By
From Artrocker acclaim to Kerrang! comicstrip immortality, NoMeansNo support to Summer Festivals – FAT GOTH is to support U.S. band Torche next in August! It couldn’t happen to three more talented guys. By this time next year I expect they’ll have either self-destructed themselves back into total obscurity or playing to millions on Jimmy Kimmel.More »

Lapsus Linguae: Back From The Dead
June 11, 2013 By
If FAT GOTH are metal in denial, the return of LAPSUS LINGUAE is where murder meets art. Hannibal Lecter would call it delicious. As you’d expect, they are not for the faint of heart. What you’re about to eat could in fact be your own freshly served record collection in a million pieces. More »
So EMO It Hurts. Bonehouse release “The Long Summer” LP
June 10, 2013 By
Former members of Archives & The Fall Of Boss Koala feature in Dundee indie/emo/punk band Bonehouse. Their new LP is available to order containing the band’s first two demos from 2011 and 2012. That Breaking Bad used a song with my favourite unintentionally emo song title of all time is a tenuous link to the […]More »
Can Discopolis Save Us From Scottish Indie Disco Landfill?
June 9, 2013 By
The time to wage war on advertisement-friendly, indie disco background music draws near. Discopolis walk the tightrope between it and potential pop royalty. More »
Hello! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Andy and you've found my blog. Once in a halley's comet I'll help a noisy band release a record like
