Words: The Captain Make some room, because you don’t want to injure anyone with your headbanging. This 4 track E.P from Tiberius is pretty damn awesome. Heavy riffs and sweet vocals make this E.P something to love and you may want to consult your dentist after indulging in this amazing masterpiece. The track titles are also tasty as hell: Vultures [I mean they’re pretty cool, … Continue reading E.P Review: Tiberius (EP) by Tiberius
Meet Andy, Brian, James and Ben, the rockin’ minds behind the Glaswegian band The Hammerin’ Tongs. We caught up with them for a wee chat. What got you into music? Andy Welsh: As a kid I was always into art and I am a nifty doodler.

Words: The Captain Gimme an A gimme a W gimme an E gimme an S gimme an O gimme an M gimme another E. What does that spell? AWESOME! Which exactly describes this short, but sweet EP from Law of the Chord. Fast paced and rocky, this E.P makes you wanna dance and shake your thang (within moderation obviously, no injuries please). It is super, … Continue reading E.P Review: Cynical, Cynical World by Law of the Chord
Words: The Captain With twelve tracks to please your ears, this self-titled debut album from Laurence Murray Project is pretty bloody sweet. Hashtagged “Blues Rock”, this album is certainly that. Some songs lean more towards the rock side and other more towards a more breezy blues/jazz feel. With syrup sweet female vocals and silky smooth male vocals layered over a steady deep beat , it … Continue reading Album Review: Laurence Murray Project

Words: The Captain To sum up the debut E.P from The Holy Smokes in one word: BRAW! For a debut album, these guys have done so well. They mix it up with fast paced rock songs and slightly slower, possibly even ambient sounding, tracks. My favourite track of the E.P has to be Track No#4 “Liar”. It stands out from the rest, with everything so … Continue reading E.P Review: No Romance by The Holy Smokes
Words: The Captain The suave boys of Indigo Velvet have just released their newest single “Blue” and it’s sweet af (if you don’t know what af means here is a definition).

Words: The Captain Tuesday Night is the the gorgeous debut single from singer/songwriter Amy Lou. The distinctly Scottish vocals are just like honey and the soft acoustic guitar that accompanies them just seals the deal for me. This track is simply beautiful and an amazing choice for a debut single. Her next single “Marine Biologist” is out tomorrow. Stream below: Continue reading Single Review: Tuesday Night by Amy Lou
Words: The Captain It’s Wednesday, which means those “mid-week blues”. However, these are easily cured by some awesome live music. So here I am again in one of my favourite venues The Electric Circus to see two awesome bands. First, we are treated to alterntive Edinburgh rockers SeaOfCrowns. They introduce themselves and tell us to “come over to the party zone” (apparently it’s been scientifically proven that … Continue reading Live Review: Pronto Mama w/ SeaOfCrowns @ The Electric Circus 03/06/15
Words: The Captain It’s another one of those shitty “summer” nights in Edinburgh (you know, pouring rain and wind that knocks grannies over) and I’m cosied up in City 2 for Cavalier Youth Promotions’ FIRST EVER GIG (certainly THE best place to be tonight)! First, the brilliant James King graces the floor; a spiffing mix of acoustic/indie with some jazz thrown in for good measure. … Continue reading Live Review: Lyndsey Craig, The Durty Wurks, James King @ The City Café 28/05/15
