Glasgow post punks Pizza Crunch follow last year’s debut EP ‘That Serene Age’ with new single ‘Advertised Enlightenment’. This new song finds Ewan Heards trying his best to find meaning and awakening but only ending with disappointment – something many of us have experienced only all too well over the past few years. Mixing the…
Nightshift follow up last year’s self-released full-lenth cassette with new album ‘Zöe’. Now signed to Trouble in Mind, the now five-piece have a sound that dips into the musical history of their base in Glasgow and offers something fresh and contemporary. The album begins with ‘Piece Together’, a slow-burner with elongated Warpaint-style vocals about ‘learning…
Following shows with Swimming Tapes and Pottery and praise from outlets including DIY, Clash and Dork, Glaswegian indie-rockers Yakima are all set to release their debut EP. Recorded in a drafty old gatehouse next to a castle and produced by Benji Compston and Jon EE Allan of Happyness (who also plays on some of the…
Ahead of the release of debut album ‘Revision Ballads’ (out via Lost Map Records on 15 February,) Savage Mansion has unveiled a video for ‘Elwood’ – a piece of Hefner-esque slacker pop that finds Craig Angus confronting a bully from his childhood: ‘Elwood, if I saw you, I would run a mile.

With jaunty guitar hooks, energetic vocals and a…
Ahead of shows with No Age and Jeffrey Lewis and their debut album ‘Left Hand’ (out in June on Upset the Rhythm), Glasgow’s Vital Idles have unveiled a stream of ‘A Premise’. Combining elements of anti-folk with Life Without Buildings-style riffs and an almost spoken-word delivery from Jessica Higgins that takes in everything from thinking…
Signed to Crooked Noise Records and already counting Radio 1’s Phil Taggart and Daniel P. Carter among their fans, Glasgow’s Toy Mountains follow up their 2014 debut with this new EP, the rather hesitantly (yet awesomely) titled ‘I Swore I’d Never Speak of This Again’. The opening track ‘Hard Done By’ will transport you back…
We first covered Dialects back in July last year when they unveiled their video for ‘Unknown Orbit’. Now they finally release this song as part of their debut EP ‘LTKLTL’ – or ‘Let the Kids Light these Lanterns’ if you’re not a fan of acronyms. Based in Glasgow, the experimental four-piece have recently been on…
