  • The Son(s) – Leviathan

    The Son(s) are something of a mystery. Beyond the music they release via Olive Grove Records, very little is known about the band. Are they one (possibly) or more musicians (maybe) and where do they hail from? (Somewhere). I’m sure we’ll find out one day and have a good old laugh together when the facts [...]

  • Glasgow MFA Degree Show 2011

    Degree Shows are, as far as I’m concerned, fraught with danger; the sheer weight of what’s on offer causing fluctuations in quality, as well as meaning that the more subtle and esoteric works get crowded out by the whizz-bang neon lights and large-scale installations.
    I’m absolutely not saying that the 2011 Glasgow MFA Degree Show is [...]

Song of the Day: Trophys

Monday, February 27th, 2012

Going through submissions can often be a very long and extremely tiring process. Then you come along a gem of an artist that metaphorically smacks you right in the face. We would like to introduce you to Trophys.

This Kent based band are a vibrant breath of fresh air and their glowing track ‘Funeral’ is our Song of the Day. They master repetition wonderfully by inserting retro synths and organic drums; above all ‘Funeral’ is like that song of the beginning of summer. Given the title this may read as the beginning of a black comedy, but just turn it up loud as it will make you break out with excitement of whatever confines you are facing.
