Youngstrr Joey hit my radar thanks to the recent GMO6 – Scottish Indie Sampler. The Number4Door trio are label pals with the likes of Chrissy Barnacle, which helps boast its eclectic roster. Song of the Day ‘Parents’ packs sludgy riffs and swaggering basslines. This is abrasive, garage band aggression funnelled onto a demo recording. Precisely,…
Fever High – ‘Tantalized’
We visit Brooklyn for today’s Song of the Day. Fever High have hit my favourite indulgence with their latest track ‘Tantalized’ – nostalgia. With a heavy injection of ebullience, this brings back the best of the bubblegum 80s, but makes the familiar seem fresh.
Mesa Luna – ‘Don’t Let Go’
‘Don’t Let Go’ is today’s Song of the Day by Vancouver duo Mesa Luna. Taken from their debut EP Crux which is released later this year – this is spellbinding. With its fluttering keyboards, minor chords and yowling synths, this is cathartic in every sense of the word. With a strange magnetism, ‘Don’t’ Let Go’ will…
Dec ’91: ‘Woman In A Man’s Body’
Dec ’91 beginds our week of Song of the Day tributes to the GM07: Scottish Indie Sampler released this week. Craig Ferrie has been gigging consistently round he circuit for some time; he has picked up dedicated fans along the way including a number of the city’s music promoters. ‘Woman In A Man’s Body’ strikes…
GM07: Scottish Indie Sampler
It is still glaringly apparent that the same labels in Scotland are getting more press than some of the new kids. I think that the press see a long-standing name and get their masturbation rag out automatically. Well guys, there is another realm you have yet to discover. Fuzzkill, Number4Door, Crater Cove, Good Grief, Soft…

Forever: ‘Loose’
I have a list of artists that I am looking forward to seeing develop over the next 6-12 months in Scotland and Forever is one of them. The band was Song of the Day on Podcart back in February and they have the title again with their latest track ‘Loose’. The unimpeachable musical flair the…

SLUG – ‘The Big Sky’
Sunderland’s Slug delivers our Song of the Day with his cover of Kate Bush’s ‘Big Sky’. A brave undertaking by Ian Black, but with a percussive cavalcade softened by intertwining melodies, he delivers a blazing tribute. Slug will be touring the following dates: 08 Aug – Whickham, Chase Park Festival 21 Aug – Glanusk Park,…
Monogram – ‘ANNO’
Since choosing Monogram‘s epic anthem ‘Romance’ as my favourite track of the year back in 2013, Liam Rutherford has since been working tirelessly behind the scenes on live performance and penning new tracks. He now has a full band with the addition of Ben Singer on drums/vocals and multi-instrumentalist Gordon Skene on keys/vocals. Today, Podcart…
