Song of the Day comes from the exceptional Shambles In A Husk. They are one of the best bands in Scotland, no question. Aside from being one of my favourite track titles to date, ‘The TOWIE Effect’ is beautifully broad in texture. This may be ferocious, but its intelligence matches its intensity. For some this…
Ubre Blanca – ‘Red Skies’
Song of the Day is courtesy of Glasgow’s Ubre Blanca. ‘Red Skies’ is taken from Ubre Blanca’s forthcoming Terminal Island 12″. Released via Clan Destine Records November 3rd, ‘Red Skies’ has a full-bodied groove produced for maximum dance floor bombardment.

Miss Danby & The What – ‘Humdinger’
Song of the Day comes from Newcastle today. Lo-fi, sweet, and Miss Danby’s vocal is sublime. With its vitriolic blasts, ‘Humdinger’ does everything to satisfy my stifled teenage angst. For people like myself that have drowned themselves in bands like Hole then there are obvious comparisons, the chord progressions and riffs might not be groundbreaking,…
Medals: ‘I Used To Be A Dancer’
Having supported Twin Atlantic on several dates already this year, exhilarating band Medals – put together by JP Reid (Sucioperro/Marmaduke Duke) have revealed new video, ‘I Used To Be A Dancer’. With their idiosyncrasies, Medals have filled a gaping hole with their fun-filled regressive pop edge. This is catchy, grand and even though it looks…
VIDEO: Einar Stray Orchestra – ‘Politricks’
Einar Stray Orchestra’s video for single ‘Politricks’ combines wistful melodic dreamscapes and Gothic imagery as the band convert the youth of their town to the cult of Einar! It’s a mesmerising juxtaposing between the sweet sounds and the dark scenes – stunning. For more information, visit Einar Stray Orchestra’s official website.
Finn LeMarinel – ‘Known Voices’
I have often cited Scottish musicians such as Adam Stafford being some of our most underrated and under-publicised. I think it is time to admit that Finn LeMarinel really has to be placed in the same category. I find myself sitting, watching and listening these artists and sometimes questioning loudly ‘can everyone hear and feel…
Skinny Dipper – Masks EP
Vicki Cole is one of many Glasgow musicians that can masterfully pen and play a song within a very short space of time and with little effort, her versatility is completely inspiring. She is the nucleus of new ‘almost all female’ band Skinny Dipper. The 8 girl 1 guy group that boasts members from Aerial’s…
United Fruit – ‘Open Your Eyes’
This will probably come as no surprise to many that this is Song of the Day today. United Fruit’s official first single ‘Open Your Eyes’ from forthcoming album Nightmare Recovery is quite simply massive.
