Live Review: Idlewild
The crumbling surrounds of Holmfirth Picturedrome may be unaccustomed to this number of Indie kids but the haphazard architecture somehow seems fitting for all the dishevelled shirt and tie combos and painstakingly straightened messy haircuts.

CD Review: The Unthanks - Here's The Tender Coming

CD Review: Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight

Live Review: John McCusker Band
How far beyond expectation is the word 'lush' when describing Scottish traditional music? Well, it can turn up here - because the musicians are the John McCusker Band, and listening to them you get the quality of the playing, the power of the sound, and a strength that is not a matter of amplification.

Live Review: Trembling Bells and Bonnie Prince Billy
What is it about Bonnie Prince Billy and Scotland? Not content with adopting a moniker almost the same as The Young Pretender so famously defeated at the battle of Culloden, William Oldham has now linked up with Glasgow psychedelic mediaeval folk band Trembling Bells in a collaborative venture not quite as daring as a Jacobite uprising.

CD Review: Alestorm - Black Sails At Midnight
'Black Sails At Midnight' is one of those rare albums that'll leave you wondering "why has no-one tried this before?" Scottish four piece Alestorm take the gimmicky-but-actually-pretty-fun battle metal formula popularised by European metal bands such as Turisas, and replace references to Odin and Vikings with tales of quests, treasure and wenches.
