Hinterland

Hinterland

Various venues, Glasgow, Sat 3 Apr

(4 stars)15 Apr 2010

Perhaps the life of music festivals should be measured in dog years, in which case this one-ticket, multi-venue affair, returning for a second year albeit reduced to one day long, makes it a rowdy teenager. Over six busy venues – seven if you count both…

Greco-Roman Soundsystem set for Hinterland 2010

23 Mar 2010

Returning for its second annual installment, the Glasgow-based single ticket festival Hinterland has wisely scaled operations down a little this year. Focused around the Arches, the Sub Club and smaller venues like MacSorley’s and the Admiral, the…

Exposure: Galchen

1 May 2009

Glasgow 3-piece, Galchen, are a band whose inventive mix of lush electronica, jagged danceable guitar-rock, and epic, layered soundscapes, not to mention, intricate visual art accompaniment, more than deserves to be turning more than heads in the city's…

Exposure: Black Sun

30 Apr 2009

Black Sun are a trio of Glasgow musicians, who collectively, are purveyors of a brutally intense noise and slow-grooving metal carnage that is not to be taken lightly. Bridging the gap between experimentation in sound and pounding riffs, Black Sun have…

Exposure: Paper Planes

29 Apr 2009

New Jersey girl and vocal stunner Jennifer Paley fronts the Glasgow-based Paper Planes, otherwise composed of "the boys": Craig, Fraser and Christopher. Together PP make what they describe as "updated surf sounds with post punk beats, raw trashy rock…

Exposure: Rogues

Exposure: Rogues

28 Apr 2009

Maybe it’s because they’re from my part of London, but Rogues have seemingly been building up a head of steam that recently saw them release debut single Not So Pretty to great acclaim. Mixing Duran Duran, early U2, The Clash and Bowie, the band seems…

Exposure: Broken Records

27 Apr 2009

Broken Records, a group now consisting of no less than seven multi-instrumentalists from Edinburgh, have been enjoying copious amounts of praise and admiration over the past three years since their formation, as the result of frequent touring and the…

Exposure: We Were Promised Jetpacks

20 Apr 2009

The Scottish music scene is enjoying a rich harvest of young bands with big sounds right now. Like their friends Frightened Rabbit and Twilight Sad, We Were Promised Jetpacks boast big tunes, wrenchingly vulnerable vocals over towering guitars and the…

Sons and Daughters

Hinterland: Sounds and the City

16 Apr 2009

Just because it’s a brand new festival doesn’t mean Hinterland is free from pressure. The weight of expectation building up behind Glasgow’s two-day music bonanza is considerable. Partly this is because the one-ticket, multiple-venue format hasn’t been…

Exposure: Geordi La Force

Exposure: Geordi La Force

15 Apr 2009

Mixing intense, glitchy electronics with lush ambient atmospheres, mind-bending guitar shredding and a plethora of ridiculous song titles ('The Dog That Couldn't Piss'), Glasgow's Geordi La Force is one of the more interesting acts to crop up in recent…

Exposure: Sucioperro

14 Apr 2009

Say hello to Sucioperro, if their exotic sounding name hasn’t crossed your path already. They’re the next band to follow in the Ayrshire footsteps left by the inimitable Biffy Clyro, which certainly ain’t any easy thing to do. Borrowing Biffy’s crashing…

Zoey Van Goey

Exposure: Zoey Van Goey

13 Apr 2009

Clever, twee and always catchy, Zoey Van Goey have a gentle beauty about their music. It’s very reminiscent of early Belle and Sebastian, the mix of girl/boy vocals and light-footed, catchy pop tunes never failing to put a smile on your face. Forming in…

The Xcerts - King Tut's, Glasgow, Sun 8 Mar 2009

18 Mar 2009

The Xcerts could be everything you want in a pop rock band; stylish, rhythmic, tight-as-hell and armed with some of the catchiest melodies known to man. The Aberdeen via Brighton trio are becoming young masters of the genre, ultimately destined for…
