Live Review: Eyre Llew, L-Space & Echo Arcadia @ Sneaky Pete’s 08/03/17

Words & Photo: The Captain It’s a Wednesday night and what better to do than go to a gig on the Cowgate! Out of the line up, I’ve only ever heard Echo Arcadia before because they were on the final episode of “The Captain’s Log” the week before. However, I have heard great things about the two other bands so I am very excited. First … Continue reading Live Review: Eyre Llew, L-Space & Echo Arcadia @ Sneaky Pete’s 08/03/17

Song Review: Out in the Ocean by Megan D

(Photo Credit: Graham Mackenzie Photography) Megan D has always captivated me with her unique, soft voice. This song is no different. She has her own style that really does stand out, with her Scottish accent coming through (because what’s better than an artist signing in their own accent, especially if it’s Scottish?). This song is so very beautiful and I’m glad we can hear it now, … Continue reading Song Review: Out in the Ocean by Megan D

Single Review: Pedestal by Unkeepable

  Words: The Captain If you want something catchy and amazing, if you want something that will give you a massive earworm (I promise that’s not gross or awful, look it up here) then “Pedestal” is for you. I remember seeing Steven (Frontman) live on his own a year or so ago, and this is my first time hearing him as a band. It’s different, … Continue reading Single Review: Pedestal by Unkeepable

Album Review: Laurence Murray Project

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

Single Review: Tuesday Night by Amy Lou

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

Live Review: Pronto Mama w/ SeaOfCrowns @ The Electric Circus 03/06/15

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

Live Review: Snide Rhythms, May He Go, Two Wrongs @ The Electric Circus 19/05/15

Words: The Captain Once upon a time, in a city not so far away, a small crowd gathers at a venue. The city in question is *drum roll* EDINBURGH! Well done, if you got it right, you can have a Bucky Bomb! The bill tonight looks so simply delicious, so when two-piece instrumental band Two Wrongs take to the stage, my eyes (and ears) and … Continue reading Live Review: Snide Rhythms, May He Go, Two Wrongs @ The Electric Circus 19/05/15
