No heather, no haggis, no tinsel, no tartan, no sleigh-bells, no bagpipes, no reindeer; just rawk:
‘tis the season, after all…
Shit Disco – Disco Blood (Clor Remix)
Wreaking a spasmodic art-rock ruckus are Glasgow’s jittering hit squad, Shit Disco: their juddering, brawling debut single is the puking spawn of Talking Heads, Josef K, Underworld—all disco snickers, Atari refrains, demoniac hollers, and sick, sick riffs.
Hooker’s Green Number One – Love Ballad
Jazz-daft Highland wunderkinds Hooker’s Green Number One are an orphic, nonconformist marvel of mercurial space-bop, psyche-addled brass, and tinkering, shimmering, cosmic pop.
Uncle John and Whitelock – Baghdadi
Lupine, louping riffs a-plenty from Glasgow’s prime-evil rawk howlers Uncle John and Whitelock: their savage line in errant punk and lewd, lubed, belting delta blues is bruising, shrewd, and bloody luminous.
