THEY’RE at it again – musicians from all over Scotland are continuing to release another terrific tune after another.
The Snuts may take a lot the focus today with their new single – already topping the charts – but there are so many flying acts flying under the radar that should be celebrated.
That said, it should come as no surprise to see the bands below topping charts in the near future.
The Capollos – Electrify
It’s been a while since the Granite City lads released some new material and it was absolutely worth the wait.
One-line review: “Rip-roaring gut buster with a spooky mid-section breakdown.”

Wrest – Blood
Following up from A Perfectly Spherical World, the pensive four-piece are back with a bang.
One-line review: “A rich and expansive arena-rock anthem.”
FFO: Foreignfox, The Twilight Sad, Snow Patrol.
Be Charlotte – Burning (from Dreaming with the Lights Off EP)
The EP is finally here, with Burning arguable the stand-out track along with the Dundee singer's latest release Lights Off.
One-line review: “Anthemic masterpiece – moving, thoughtful and infectious.”
FFO: Hannah Slavin, stmartiins, Lennon Stella.
