TweetShare Back in November I was ask to take part in Peenko‘s annual Scottish Bloggers and Music Sites  (Scottish BAMS…..and if you’re Scottish you’ll get the double entendre there) rundown.  Because I’m Scottish I qualified for such an honour and it’s my pleasure to announce that after much tallying and I’m sure many a drink, [...]

TweetShare Yet another fine song from Indianapolis’, soon-to-be-San Franciscan three-piece Burnt Ones. Last week….or was it the week before……I can’t remember, I’m posting so much about these guys lately it’s difficult to keep track. Ok, it was last week I posted a live video of them taken at the end of June and last weekend [...]

TweetShare Last night (Saturday July 10th) saw Burnt Ones release their highly anticipated, sure-to-be critically acclaimed debut album “Black Teeth & Golden Tongues”. They only released it in Indiana last night, with a national release coming on August 10th via Dodge’s new label Roaring Colonel Records.  Below there’s an excellent video of them performing their [...]

When this was recorded by the excellent Edinburgh guys and gals and cats and dogs at Off The Beaten Tracks back in March, I hadn’t even heard of [...]

TweetShare Yeah I’m aware that SXSW was over a month ago, but Off The Beaten tracks are a busy bunch of people, plus they had to get back to Edinburgh AND get all of the performances that they recorded touched up and what-not.  Plus I’m pretty sure they save babies from burning buildings and skydive [...]

TweetShareYesterday I posted a review of Frightened Rabbit’s debut album “Sing The Greys” with a stream for you to listen to it for free. Today I’m going to show some videos of songs from “Sing The Greys”. They only released one single from that album, a double A-side of “Be Less Rude” and “The Greys”. [...]

TweetShareAn excellent live performance by Frightened Rabbit singer Scott Hutchison of “Swim Until You Can’t See Land” from their upcoming album “The Winter Of Mixed Drinks”, due out March 10th. Performed in a 17th century style garden, the video is done by Off The Beaten Tracks, an Edinburgh ensemble who arrange to have bands and [...]
