Instead of our usual preview for Wickerman, we are dedicating the next 10 days of Song of the Day to the Solus and goNorth Stages at the festival. Today we kick off with Vladimir who are fresh off the T Break stage at T in the park. They will play the goNorth stage this year.…
Sand – ‘Clay’
Sand is the solo project of Sam Healy of acclaimed back North Atlantic Oscillation. I had no idea these tracks existed until this morning. Our Song of the Day, ‘Clay’ is taken from his debut album. Healy is quoted as saying: “I wanted to try something that I could work on entirely alone, with no…
We Were Promised Jetpacks – Safety In Numbers
Jetpacks are back in style with ‘Safety In Numbers’ taken from forthcoming album Unravelling. This is an exceptionally strong come back for the band in both song and production. Adam Thompson’s lead vocal is fairly relaxed given his previous powerful bellows, but this takes nothing from the overall energ. The gradual ascent into airborne guitar…
Gav Prentice – Where The Streets Have Royal Names
Whilst Over The Wall are sadly no more, Gav Prentice of the band is still going strong. ‘Where The Streets Have Royal Names’ has appeared on SoundCloud over the last 24 hours and was a no brainer for Song of the Day. Sometimes there are songs to admire rather than lose oneself in, but for…
H.Grimace – ‘Cavepainter’
London-based H.Grimace hit our radar thanks to Art Is Hard Records. ‘Cavepainter’ is to be released as a free download by the label, but will also be included in their ‘Pizza Box run’ which you can find more information about HERE. ‘Cavepainter’ is exquisite surf pop, but I don’t want to just stop with the…
Garden Of Elks – YOOP
Song of the Day is the new offering from Garden Of Elks – ‘YOOP‘. I have to say I am loving the new polished sound. Is there anything that Bruce Rintoul records/produces that is not great???? He has really helped drive this track and I think it really showcases what Garden Of Elks are capable…
Kill The Waves – Better Days
Kill The Waves have been popping in an out of my listening stream of late and they recently released ‘Better Days’ via Comets and Cartwheels.. I have decided to make it Song of the Day as I do feel it fell a bit by the wayside and deserves a lot more attention. As a band…
Fat Goth – Sin Altar
Today’s Song of the Day means good old baw-cracking rock and roll. Dundee’s Fat Goth are here to save you all from being over-saturated by summer pop songs and deliver you your still beating heart on a \m/ plate. ‘Sin Altar’ is taken from the band’s recent album One Hundred Percent Suave. Expect to be…
Song of the Day: United Fruit – How Long (Change You Into Something Better)
I heard this song in its infancy; I then was lucky enough to hear it after the superb production efforts of Bruce Rintoul of 45 A Side Recordings. It is without any shadow of doubt one of the best songs on our radar this year.
Song of the Day: Seeds & Bones – Lay It Down
Song of the Day comes from new Gizeh Records signing Seeds & Bones.
