Glasgow electro-pop shenanigans prevail on the latest demo by this fast rising band. Already known for having the best song titles in popular music, this latest recording upholds that claim with the wonderful ‘Carmen Electro’. […]

Skatch, a self proclaimed “Ultra Party Power Pop” 5-piece from Birmingham slam out some energetic, well..party pop… for the under 16’s. […]
A demo recording of better than average standard. It’s a sparse affair with just Kyle Cuthbert’s vocals and acoustic guitar guiding us through two mellow folky campfire tracks […]
