Having written about Leeds band Vessels more times than most, I am ecstatic to see that they are on the verge of their third album release. Dilate will be released in March 2015, but in the meantime they have revealed single ‘On Monos’ which features vocals from Snow Fox. For many Vessels devotees this will…
Cameron Roxburgh – The Serendipity Selection
When I first received an email from Roxburgh stating that he was a self-taught, 16 year old guitarist I suppose I was a bit dismissive. That was until I started listening to his latest EP, The Serendipity Selection. I think the first thing that struck me was the richness of his vocal, then came the…
Mogwai: ‘Teenage Exorcists’
Yesterday Mogwai premiered the official video for ‘Teenage Exorcists‘. Directed by the exceptionally talented Craig Murray and taken from Music Industry 3. Fitness Industry 1., this is a beautiful head fuck to put it politely. The EP is out December 1st via Rock Action Records.
Fat-Suit: ‘The First Man On The Sun’
What can I say about Fat-Suit that I haven’t already said? This year I got to see them live a couple of times and all I can say is that they have been one of my absolute highlights of 2014. The Scottish instrumental collective recently revealed new single ‘The First Man On The Sun’ which…
Miss Kenichi – ‘The Ghost’
Germany’s Sinnbus label has been one of the most consistent in terms of stunning musical output that I have heard in the last few years. The roster is exemplary and the latest release from Berlin’s Miss Kenichi further proves the label’s reputation. ‘The Ghost’ is Podcart’s Song of the Day and I am staggered to…
Life Is Like A Box Of Records: Wesley Shearer
I first met Wesley Shearer a good few years ago at Glasgow Met where he was studying and Podcart visited. I have seen him become an integral part of the Glasgow music community.
Life Is Like A Box Of Records: Craig Johnston
Today’s Life Is Like A Box Of Records is with DF Concerts booker, promoter and all round new music supporter Craig Johnston. This is a particularly poignant selection and I feel humbled that he chose to write this for the site. Wet Wet Wet – Goodnight Girl I am an only child from a broken…
Cara Mitchell – Afraid Of The Dark
Having recently made Cara Mitchell Song of the Day, the EP which features that very track, ‘Suspended Motion’ is now out. Afraid Of The Dark is a rounded EP, more importantly, it shows that Cara doesn’t need all the bells and whistles of fancy production. In fact, she would be just as incredible with just…

Past and present collaborators include: Jill O’Sullivan, RM Hubbert, Sanjeev Kohli, Calamateur, Emma Pollock, Pauline Alexander, Celie Byrne, Calamity Horse and Dave Burnett. Jan has penned and curated his third album due for release in 2015. I am delighted to bring you the first listens…
First Run Building On Success…
I can’t really remember the first time I met First Run Records co-member Scott Kirkwood. I was probably more shocked that someone so young was not only an A & R for Columbia Records, but also worked at the Scottish Music Centre as a project manager for Hit The Road. Scotland has noticed an ever…
