Based in Edinburgh, <strong>Song, by Toad</strong> Records is much more than an indie record label. Yes, that’s the primary function of <strong>Matthew Young’s </strong>label but there’s also a label website, a blog, a weekly podcast (which is highly recommended), reviews, live sessions from his house, gigs around Edinburgh – basically a lot of music related…
Interview: The Twilight Sad
The Twilight Sad are in the midst of a UK tour at present, which ends in Stirling on November 25th. The band’s third album No One Can Ever Know is due out in February 2012.
SoundCloud Weather Four Front
Once upon a time there was an interface called Myspace. Podcart began on this interface and discovered lots of new and wonderful musicians. Then came along a big bad nasty makeover and it went to shit so Podcart had to find another way to discover new musicians. Something called Soundcloud came along and helped save…
Conquering Animal Sound – Kammerspiel
Conquering Animal Sound’s debut album ‘Kammerspiel’ is one of my most anticipated debuts by any artist who have featured on Glasgow Podcart. To say that it has left me staggered is an understatement.
Debbie Kate – Captains Rest
As the weekend of love approaches and the rain pours down outside, Captain’s Rest opens its doors for a warm embrace.

Interview: Edith Bowman
Edith Bowman is one of the friendliest and most passionate women you could hope to meet in the music industry. She has a wealth of musical and film knowledge and there are absolutely no airs or graces about the woman.
United Fruit
United Fruit are the next on our hit list of bands to keep a very close eye on in 2011 and beyond. Having provided one of best live experiences of 2010 at Wickerman Festival’s Solus Tent they would probably have to be named a summer highlight.
Inspector Tapehead – Duress Code
To say I have been excited about the prospect of the new Inspector Tapehead album would be a MASSIVE understatement, like saying the Great Wall Of China was a ‘a decent size’ or Katie Price ‘likes to have the odd picture taken’. After hearing the unbelievably good ‘Pherenzik Tear’ last year, a moment which will…
Podcart Tips: 2011
So I thought I would highlight a few artists that Glasgow Podcart believes you should keep an eye on for 2011 and going forward. I suppose I should put some kind of disclaimer about it being the opinion of myself and so on, but hey they are great musicians and deserve to be checked out.…
The Unwinding Hours, Twilight Sad & RM Hubbert – Oran Mor
If I was ever to host something celebratory in any capacity within Glasgow then I would surely use the Oran Mor Auditorium as my venue. A setting of epic proportions with a constellation emblazoned roof that was so high it made me dizzy, rainbows lighting up strategic corners of the room and significant quotes scribed.
