Artist Of The Week – Glider

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Glider have been around in one form or another for a few years now, always flying just below the radar, making the kind of guitar infused indie pop music that makes your soul soar and your aspirations seem attainable. Life affirming melodies riding on top rhythms that flicker from moments of fresh air delicacy to [...]

And So I Watch You From Afar 02/10/09 @ O’Henrys

Friday, October 9th, 2009

I tried (in vain) to get someone, ANYONE, to try and describe And So I Watch You From Afar’s sound to me and almost every single time I was told to “wait and see”. I can honestly tell all of you reading this that I left O’Henrys without a face that night.

ASIWYFA are my [...]

St Deluxe Interview

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Tomorrow sees one of the best line ups in Scotland for some time. Mudhoney return to our shores to play an epic show at the Edinburgh HMV Picture House with The Vaselines and PodcART favourites St Deluxe.
St Deluxe are without a doubt ostentatious. They take me back to a time in my life when I [...]

Paper Planes: ‘Doris Day’

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

The latest single release by Paper Planes, ‘Doris Day’ may be one of the most sexually charged tracks I have heard this year. There is something very satisfying about a female drawling out vocals that purr yet pack enough punch to knock you over with prowess.

The Gothenburg Address

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

The seasons have changed and with it they bring new music and epic introductions to bands who have flurried just beneath the surface of listeners. My head has risen above the pool of water in which it swims; virgin sounds have infused my hearing and once again it is time to be excited. The Gothenburg Address have stormed in [...]

Panda Su: ‘Sticks And Bricks’ EP

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

I remember the day I stumbled across Panda Su. I was craving musical attention as always and by chance her music found me. The daydreamer in me latched on to her lavish vocals and melancholy undertones.
Panda Su’s debut EP ‘Sticks And Bricks’ is something that I and many have been waiting for. This EP is [...]

Kid Canaveral: A Left And Right EP

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

When I was asked to listen to and review Kid Canaveral’s ‘A Left And Right’ for PodcART, I’ll be thoroughly honest and say I was a little intimidated to say the least. The excitement surrounding this band is unavoidable, they have an earnest and positive aura which is so obviously deserved. The repeat function on [...]
