The boy bought a guitar one day and started to play songs and write down stuff...he had an imaginary friend called aaron, who got him into all sorts of trouble...nobody ever believed the boy when he said it was aarons fawlt....... A few years later the boy met another boy and his name was Lennard (he waz from 2 places...Portugul and Hole-Land) and he had an imaginary friend too that he called Mordechai...but he was very shy. The boy from Scot-Land showed this new boy how to play sum songs that they both liked and he too began to write down stuff........... Pretty soon, they were writing down stuff together......... Then one day, they met this girl they had never seen before when they were playing in the park...and this girls name was Sylvia and she was from sumwhere calle Pole-Land and she played an insrumint called the violin...She didnt have any imaginary friends but the two boys were amazed when they discovered that she could see aaron and Mordechai when nobody else had ever before...ever. She started playing things over the stuff the boys had written down and thay were all very happy cos it sounded really nice and good.
aaron and Mordechai are:

Autonomous
 | Originally a five piece band, Autonomous were forced to play only what the rhythm guitarist wanted to. Now after the sacking of said guitarist, the band have wiped the slate clean and produced a style of music which takes the influences of funk, jazz, classic rock and smooth metal and merges them together. Currently still getting a strong enough setlist together, Autonomous are hoping to get noticed by the public by the end of the year.

Babygod
 | We are, Gerry Campbell, (lead vocals, guitar), Brian Campbell, (Bass, vocals)
Ruth Mills, (synths, guitar, vocals) and Neil Grant (Drums, Percussion)
Brothers, Gerry and Brian met Ruth at school in Bellshill. “There weren't many people who sang Gershwin for kicks where we’re from” says Gerry, “so I knew I had to find out what she was about. We all started exchanging tapes of whatever was firing us up, Prince, old Two Tone records, My Bloody Valentine…”
Ruth adds. “Gerry and Brian are both impressive musicians with a sensitive and expressive approach that appealed to me greatly. We all share a flat in the east end of Glasgow now. After a long spell of recording in our kitchen, our labours bore fruit with the release of our debut single ‘perfection’ late 2003. Our second release ‘Lists of Three’ is due out late summer 2005.”
Armed with a drum machine and a lot of guts, Gerry recalls “We played loads of gigs as a three piece last year. Choosing strange venues that don’t normally host bands, a lap dancing club, a hairdressers, friends flats… then, on New Years Eve 2004, after a roof raising gig at The End Of The Month Club, Glasgow, a cheeky tyke from the Highlands came up and told us we really needed a drummer.” Enter Neil Grant to take over the percussive reigns with machine like accuracy.

Degrassi
 | The band are:
Michael Branagh - Drums/Vocals
Bob Fairfoull - Bass
Tommy "The Dime" Nicol - Guitar/Lead Vocals
Scott "Cannibal" Smith - Guitar/Vocals
www.degrassi.co.uk/degrassidisco.htm
Based in Edinburgh Degrassi have received critical acclaim from such luminaries as: NME (bring it on band of the month), Radio 1, XFM, Drowned in Sound, Rocksound, Kerrang, Logo, Q and much of Scotland's music press.
Degrassi have been a formidable force both on stage and in the studio. Building up a fierce reputation for vibrant and intense live performances, it was a only a matter of months before their biting sound of versatile complexities met the approving ears of BBC Radio One legend John Peel. On hearing their first studio recording (an unreleased 4 song session) he promptly offered the band their first Peel Session which was recorded and broadcast the following month to enthusiastic praise on air from the respected host.
With time, increasingly enthusiastic reviews from publications as varied as The Scotsman, The List, The Sun, News of the World, The Evening News and NME.com, expressing their eager approval, were received, in addition to countless fanzine, webzine and underground publication endorsements. A 2nd invitation to the John Peel Show followed and a live session was recorded and broadcast, shortly followed by sessions for the BBC Session in Scotland's evening performance and BBC Radio Scotland's 'AIR' programme (hosted by Vic Galloway, another one of the early converts to the Degrassi cause).
The Debut EP 'Terminal Ocean' produced by Michael Brennan (Super Furry Animals, Mogwai, The Beta Band, Elastica, Snow Patrol, And you will know us by the trail of dead) was later released on underground independent Scottish label SL Records. It reaped much critical acclaim and went some considerable way to breaking down the pigeon hole that many reviewers had struggled to place the band in. The next e.p. 'The Form' was also released, recorded again with Michael Brennan and Dub Panda, released on SL Records.
Degrassi have played with bands such as: Snow Patrol, Faust, Wayne Kramer (MC5),Terra Diablo, Franz Ferdinand, Ballboy and to name but a few. Three T in the Park appearances have upped the ante in boosting the band's live profile that had already attained the eager attention and anticipation of many audiences and critics alike. This years T in the Park performance (2004) saw them close the tent and reap acclaim from many journalists including Dominic Diamond. After numerous tours with Cinerama (EX-Wedding Present Frontman David Gedge's current outfit) and the 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster, the band had a swift line up re-shuffle and drafted-in ex-Idlewild Bassist Bob Fairfoull on additional guitar/bass duties. A recent tour of England has just been completed with the band playing alongside Ambulance Ltd and Bellx1 at Alan McGee's Death Disco (a recent campaigner for the band, writing favourable reviews and playing on his Radio One show along with Edith Bowman, Jo Whiley, Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe. The band headlined a prestigious gig at last years music industry conference MusicWorks in Glasgow as well as well as a highly successful slot on the MTV EMA showcase bill and also recent finalists of the Diesel awards alongside the Blueskins. 2004 has seen the band go from strength to strength touring with Sluts of Trust, Colour of Fire, Seafood and Aereogramme building a strong fan base across the UK and Europe. Degrassi were also nominated in the XFM awards for best live act of 2004.
BBC Radio 1 Session in Scotland - Vic Galloway 'After a significant line-up change and directional move, Edinburgh's Degrassi are now better than ever & have completed a new recording with Michael Brennan (Mogwai, Super Furry Animals etc), Think of Idlewild's hooks, Mogwai's post-rock soundscapes and New Order's timing and synchronisation and you're approaching where the band are now coming from. Tremendous stuff.'
Playlouder The Printworks, Manchester. (15/04/04) 'Down at the Printworks there is a storm brewing with Degrassi.The Edinburgh-based crew have been around a couple of years and have honed down their punk pop-fused, Art school rush of perfection... great hooks rise out of the intense riff action, all driven along with a high energy rush. Degrassi are definitely one of those bands that leaves you wondering why they are not much bigger'. John Robb.

digitalTRAFFIC
 | digitalTRAFFIC create heavy electronic music soundscapes with a futuristic / sci-fi / industrial sound. The instrumentation is entirely electronic and the albums feature a mix of dark ambient aggressive tracks to lighter more classical influenced tracks.
digitalTRAFFIC albums range in styles, but feel very cohesive overall. The albums don't fall easily into any preconceived category, but should appeal to fans of heavy electronic / electronica, ambient / space music, orchestral electronica and experimental industrial soundscapes.
digitalTRAFFICs sound takes the listener on a journey through heavy electronic inspired soundtracks to dark ambient soundscapes. There is a distinct live feel to the albums - clouds of sounds over heavy rhythms - unusual in construction and production but with a natural flow. Classic digitalTRAFFIC sound throughout creating a sound palate of discordant layers and rhythms with a sci-fi edge. Perfect for all MP3 players.

Elephantine
 | Elephantine are a stoner metal band from Edinburgh comprising of Ally Leitch on vocals, Kieran Gallagher on guitar, Ross Martin on bass and Rikki Smith on drums.
The band's juggernaught sound is like a mix between early Kyuss, The Stooges (and various miscellaneous punk groups) and Metallica. Songs vary from sludgy, low tuned beasts to up tempo stoner riffs. Loud as fuck drums, cheesy bass lines, crushing riffs and filthy, disgusting lyrics is what Elephantine are all about.
Review Of Elephantine's Self released single
"The Super Bad Ass Sweet Daddy Jones Experience" By Steve Belling From Virgin.net
Only 2 tracks here, but there's plenty of earth moving de-tuned metal on display. It's hard-edged but accessible, and they deliver with a confidence that will do them no harm at all. Some of the riffs evoke classic era proto-HM given the way guitar, bass and drums evolve between shades of dark, and it would be interesting to hear these themes developed further.
Ally supplies the vocal broadside with enough gritty character on tap to deliver at times, expletive-laden lyrics. Profane by nature, they might not be to everyone's taste, but there free to express their art, and it does stick a 'V' sign up the arse of the fake culture oozing from most music channel orifices. An enema for the music industry? Just stand well back.

properly came together the following spring. After a number of open stage
nights, the band began to play proper gigs and in the 2 and a bit years
since they formed they have released two EPs, gained national radio airplay,
and supported the likes of The Fence Collective, Joy Zipper, KT Tunstall and

Bono locked outside and shouting to get in. They are "destined for beyond
the indie disco and pub scene". Which is nice. Kid Canaveral are David

Red Snowman
| Red Snowman are a band as skitso as they come. Live they can sound angry and abused or intelligent and reflective. Recordings vary to even further extremes with vast banks of electronic material building up to allow gallons of rock juice to flow down the middle. Have a listen.

Rico
 | Turn it up until you’re head hurts
Let the hairs on your neck freeze
Throw a rock into the river
Watch the ripples hit the seas
Scratch your feelings on the bus stop
Shake the leaves off all the trees
Find yourself a new religion
Throw your head between your knees

Shadowchylde
 | Shadowchylde has been an evolving band and has been in existence
for going on 8 years. The original lineup consisted of Dave Pallister
(Guitar and vocals), Brian Vargas (Bass and vocals), and Dave Biddle
(Drums). At it's inception, Shadowchylde was a cover band playing
songs by Creed, Metallica, Kiss, James Gang, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Their first gig was playing open mic nights at a bar in Glen Burnie
Maryland called Crossroads where they eventually became a staple act
and allowed other musicians to get up and jam with them on a wide
variety of songs.
After an unfortunate incident that saw Dave Biddle depart the
band, Dave and Brian recorded a 5 song EP of all original material
called "Mixed Emotions" and sent it off to Matt Davis of 98 Rock in Baltimore.
Matt decided it was good enough to play on his local artist show
called "Noise In The Basement" where he played the song "Suffer".
After they recorded "Mixed Emotions", Dave and Brian had an
amicable parting of the ways and Dave moved to Westminster, Maryland
where he continued writing music and eventually had enough to record
his first full length album called "The Sleeping Chylde Awakes".
Since he had no idea how to promote it at first, it simply got passed
around to some of his friends, one of whom suggested he put it up on
the Internet and go play it on Paltalk. He was a bit leary about
having it on the 'net but he did take his friend's advice and started
going into music rooms on Paltalk where he was "discovered" by a DJ
for Kansas City Internet Audio called "The Voice". He recorded a
second album during his tenure as the "first New Artist on KCIA"
called "The Chylde Discovers Love".
Dave later discovered that KCIA didn't have all their ducks in
a row but he was very happy when they brought someone new on as the
"New Artist Director". Her name was Stormy Nyght and it took her even
less time to realize how messed up KCIA was so she took all the new
artists, including Shadowchylde, and started her own station called
"The Spotlight".
During his tenure as a Featured Artist on "The Spotlight", Dave met an
extraordinary bassist named Will and Will's friend, Drummerboy Steve with
whom he re-formed Shadowchylde. They were well suited musically and they
played one gig opening for Lancaster-based Blue Corduroy where they blew the
headliners off the stage. Unfortunately, Will and Steve had little faith in their
abilities so the band broke up once again.
Determined not to give up, Dave went on to record an album of cover tunes
called "Gotcha Covered!!!" and also "Living With The Killer's Name", a double
CD of covers called "Tributes" and his latest original CD entitled "Judgement Day",
all of which are available for sale on his website.
At present, Dave has relocated to Glasgow, Scotland and is seeking new musicians to fill out the lineup...

The Dreamt
 | The Dreamt are Andrew Hill (vocals/guitar/keyboard) Alasdair Macinnes (bass/vocals), Stefan Huth (guitar)and, most recently, Maitiu Corbett (drums/vocals/whatever he can get his hands on). Formed in late 2004, after much delay, they played their eagerly anticipated debut gig, supporting Callel in March 2005.
2005 also saw an acoustic gig (The Dreamt appearing only as a duo that evening) at Nektar, as well as a charity gig at Theatre Workshop, the debut of their new line-up. In addition the band made their first foray into a professional studio, recording what might one day be called 'The Dreamt E.P.'.
They intend to continue gigging into 2006 and beyond and, though they are not keen to pigeonhole themselves, they are happy to confirm that they do like the 'rock' music.

The Scottish Enlightenment
 | The Scottish Enlightenment's debut album, released 29/04/06 and entitled Volo ut Sis, is out on Moojuice records, and available to buy from the website, or from CDBaby.
The Scottish Enlightenment is what it is to the ears. But to the retro-directed mind, it formed out of the bedraggled remnants of two previous bands, when, at the yawning of 2005, said pair of pairs met and joined. Followed practice, recording and live-ness. That is to say, followed music-making, that’s all. What else could one possibly want to know…

We Are The Physics
 | WE ARE THE PHYSICS, purveyors of the completely fictional MUTANT SCIENCE PUNK ROCK hail hail from Glasgow, Scotland having formed just after Christmas dinner, 2004. Sourcing from bands such as Devo, The Skids, Polysics and Buddy Holly, The Phys have been relentlessly gigging in an effort to become half decent all the while dancing like robots. Known for their eccentric leg manoeuvres, the band have already caught the eye of people they knew beforehand and are sure to make hefty waves in the metaphorical reservoir of tunes.

White Flag Agenda
 | The White Flag Agenda (WFA) vision is – to bring something different to the current music scene that has a surplus of indie artists. The band isn’t dedicated to one particular genre, just their passion to rock.
Working together writing their own material, grafting, shaping and developing their sound, the band emerged in Spring 2007.
A blend of heavy rock, interspersed with beautiful melodies, cutting lyrics and haunting guitar solos has seen their fan base rapidly grow on their home soil in Fife, Scotland. They rocked their first gig in Thornton by winning a local battle of the bands.
Since then, WFA have performed locally at indoor and outdoor events – all with amazing feedback.
WFA spent this summer in the recording studio, meticulously crafting each track and sweating blood to create their self-titled 6 - track EP. It was recorded and mixed entirely by the band in their own studio; the quality of the EP speaks for itself.
WFA is currently gigging in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland and are seeking suitable support slots to tour the U.K. so they can spread the WFA sound and to grab the attention of more fans with their unforgettable live performances.
The guys have now come of age. They have talent, passion amounting to a unique and powerful sound. It won’t be long before White Flag Agenda are playing in a city near you.
Pledge Allegiance to the Flag
