  • Icky Blossoms – ‘Icky Blossoms’

    Icky Blossoms. Shit name, isn’t it? You’d expect a band called Icky Blossoms to be a white boy-girl combo who do ironic ukulele covers of rap songs and the Lon Lon Farm theme, and are really, really brilliant at social media. But such nightmare visions of twee hipster turpitude are unfounded.

  • 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 [...]

  • Some Might SAY

    On April 25th 2013, nervy Korean troops practised landing drills in Ponhang, citizens in Boston continued to watch the emotional fall-out from the recent bombings in their city and the death toll from a Bangladeshi factory collapse reached 200.
    Thus the announcement that day of the long list for the Scottish Album of the Year [...]

Verse Metrics Are Back!

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Verse Metrics are back. Yes, that is all you really need to get excited about, no really.

Verse Metrics first impressed Podcart back in around 2010. Their last release was incredibly intricate and the additional pristine production pinpointed them as a band to keep an eye on.

With their name being shouted on a far larger scale this time due to a forthcoming release and a sabbatical which has seen them really take on board what they needed to do in order to step up to the next hierarchical step out of musical anonymity, it is now time to pay attention.

‘Aches’ is a taster of what is to come. If this is a taster then I think it is safe to say that this could be the release that shows Scotland what a brilliant new export it has.

It is a huge track, and as an old-school grunge fan I almost hear threads of bands such as Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden interspersed amongst the mathematical rhythms and soaring melodies.

Verse Metrics have the means to tap into the brutal yet intelligent side of music and ‘Aches’ captures the essence of the band. They are well on their way to obtain mainstream acceptance whilst maintaining that firm handshake with the DIY underworld.
