		<description><![CDATA[An ambitious recording running longer than most albums, the debut EP from this Livingston-based progressive rock band is heavily influenced by such prog luminaries as Dream Theater and Genesis. 
There’s a strong emphasis on melody and rhythm throughout and the musicianship is suitably virtuosic, guitars have a swirling dreamlike quality and brief saxophone solos steer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Formed just over a year ago, the maturity of Stirling’s Miniature Dinosaurs can be a bit frightening. The songs on ‘Chatterbox’ are polished up-tempo pop numbers that almost routinely boast big, powerful choruses and hooks with an abundance of indie credibility. 
The comparisons to The Killers and David Bowie are inevitable but they still manage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With online music downloads dominating the sale of CDs, it would seem that all we really want to do nowadays is download songs, download albums, download films. Heck, I’m sure if downloading our weekly grocery shopping was an option we’d never leave our house again.&#8211;>
So can bands and artists in the business today kiss goodbye [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a weird one. Kicking off with a guitar intro like something from the first Clash album, augmented with that high-up-the-fretboard bass you get from Hooky in Joy Division, it’s a big blustery start. Then the vocals kick in, and with a very - too? - obvious Scots accent, you&#8217;re into a middle bit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Gogobot appear onstage at King Tut’s, three bands have already been and gone. The crowd is tired, the bar running low on alcohol supply. 
Then two guys and a girl emerge with some funky electro-pop music, mashing an eclectic mix of genres together and spreading them nicely across a twenty five minute set, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first thing you notice about the title track is the anthemic sound and upbeat nature. However, this does not mean everything is taking a turn away from the melancholic indie-pop sound the band have established. Scott’s vocals are present and are still pulling on your heart strings whilst belting out emotion filled lyrics.
However, beneath [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the Proclaimers to Glasvegas, so many bands attempt to sing in their native Scottish accent (slang words included), with few succeeding and the rest just embarrassing us Scots. However Glaswegian foursome ‘Twin Atlantic’ seem to get it bang on every time. 
For those who can never quite take to the Scots dialect being sung, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fifteen years into their existence, Glasgow’s Chemikal Underground label continue to put out music that makes you realise just how essential they are to the development of music in Scotland and further afield. It may even make sense to speak of there being a ‘Chemikal Underground aesthetic’ and the latest release from The Unwinding Hours [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Taken from their forthcoming album American Gong (their eighth, if you were losing count), Quasi still turn out gorgeous and excellent music which rocks like a bastard, and they&#8217;re now a trio with the addition of bassist Joanna Bolme in the last few years.  In a sentence, this rocks like a bastard (in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have long admired much of what One Little Indian have put out, and yet I am really struggling to like Kill It Kid. The band seem to think being mature is a good thing - and it can be, just not when you&#8217;re as young as they are. One of the singers, Chris Turpin [...]]]></description>
