Song of the Day is courtesy of Edinburgh-based MC and producer Profisee. Brooding new track ‘Instant Damascus’ was revealed this week. Musically, it is packed with delicate menace, but lyrically, it is fully-formed, thematic positivity. Profisee has a gift of embroidering his music with moody complexity and engaging wordplay, ‘Instant Damascus’ adds to an already…
Unkle Bob – ‘The Long Way Home’
Glasgow’s Unkle Bob provides today’s Song of the Day with the heart-warming ballad ‘The Long Way Home’. Assumedly, a song about the journey of a relationship reaching a corrosive end, instead of being left in the depths of depravity and bitterness, this weeps of a more positive reflection. With its atmospheric, lo-fi rock, it is…
Fresh: United Fruit – ‘Nightmare Recovery’
Blogging is about being passionate about something. About conveying your love for what you are writing, speaking and spouting about. It is very easy to get called out if you are just posting something for the sake of it. I love United Fruit. It is simple. I love every single release they have put out…
HQFU – Ca$hle$$ Lip$
Could this be the best music video of 2015? Harking back to a more colourful age, HQFU‘s 90s hardcore influences are hard to ignore. Far from being souless, empty dance music, Ca$hle$$ Lip$ is a heavy blast of emotive nu-electro. Basically, just stop everything and dance. Catch HQFU at Glasgow’s Bloc this Saturday 24th October…
American Clay – ‘Talk’
For many, Martin Johnston is one of the most instantly recognisable faces on Glasgow’s current music circuit. A multi-instrumentalist, famed for his drumming skills alone, he has now unleashed his new band, American Clay. Notably, their first single ‘Talk’ is to be released by gutsy, independent label Smalltown America and also is today’s Podcart Song…
Ex Libras – ‘Drive’
I remember seeing London-based Ex Libras in Glasgow’s 13th Note back in 2010. I recall my jaw being especially sore from smiling and generally feeling quite gobsmacked by the whole show. As a trio they are one of the tightest and most talented outfits I have seen in my time blogging. Their latest track ‘Drive’…
Tweaks – ‘Sisters’
London-based duo Tweaks provide Song of the Day with their luminous debut single ‘Sisters’. Despite a recent name change, the pair continue to compose some of the most atmospheric songs I have heard in some time. With a delicate menace, ‘Sisters’ explodes with industrial percussion, brooding vocals and cinematic production.
The Dirty Blonde – ‘Bottom Feeder’
The Dirty Blonde have always been one of those bands in the background. I have heard their name mentioned from time to time and friends have urged me to check them out, but I don’t know what stopped me from fully investing in them.
The Pleasance Sessions Label Market
Saturday sees Edinburgh’s Pleasance Courtyard open for the Pleasance Sessions Market Place.
Estrons – ‘Make A Man’
We venture to Cardiff for Song of the Day. Red-blooded quartet Estrons have hit us hard with single ‘Make A Man’. Due for release 4th December via Gofod Records Ltd, the track is saturated with titanic guitar riffs and anthemic hooks in extremis. I cannot wait to experience them live.
