aaron and Mordechai
 | One day there was this boy and his name was Ziggy. The boy was from a land far away called Scot-Land where everybody wore funny clothes and spoke in strange ways. 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.

Stand-out track 'Home' starts out acoustically and builds to a full-on rocking tune, while its catchy chorus is sure to be a big crowd favourite. With a good ear for a melodic tune, AirSpiel are a band that can only grow and grow. They are the sort of band we should be pushing in Scotland - now.'

AlbaRoss
 | AlbaRoss is the alias of Ross Adamson, a 28 year old fifer now residing in London. He has been making music for the last 9 or so years under various names most recently [and for the longest period] as abelsonofadam. He makes off kilter electronic music and delivers the words he writes mainly in the form of rap. Being one of those people who in general day to day life just won't stop talking [and has been told; 'loves the sound of his own voice'] the pure phonetics of the words pronounced and the sheer volume of them that can be packed into a song were appealing from the first listening of Black Sunday by Cypress Hill as a [very] impressionable 12 year old.
Ross is working at present on various collaborative projects as well as rehearsing and booking shows for summer '08 with the view to gradually recording his debut LP over the summer and autumn months for the very wonderful Crystal Wish back home in Edinburgh.
As much as he enjoys doing this he dislikes writing in the third person.

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.

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.

John B McKenna
 | A tad existential, but mostly universal/comprehensible. Folk, bigger than Lo-Fi. Currently radio friendly, although depending on how life treats me, it's subject to change. Written around the world, mostly in Scotland. Recorded in one bedroom/rarely in garage, but always on the same 8 track. 40GB of hard drive space never seemed so small, until recently when "DISKFULL" keeps popping up on lcd screen. Inspired by people who make themselves like King Creosote, by people who get signed up big and remain cool too. Musically influenced by Neil Young, Elliott Smith, King Creosote, Neutral Milk Hotel, Tom Waits, The Elected, and anyone who uses drum machines and synthesisers with organic instrumentation. I also believe Nemis is good, and I don't see a problem with the mailing list.

Kid Canaveral
 | Kid Canaveral started in St Andrews, Fife in very late 2002 and
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
even Tiffany... They sound like a young REM having tea with the Pixies, with
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
MacGregor (Vox & Guitar), Kate Lazda (Vox & Guitar), Rose McConnachie (Bass
& Vox), Dan Sheehy (Drums). They are now based in and around St Andrews and
Edinburgh. Sample Music can be found at http://www.myspace.com/kidcanaveral

Kordoba
 | Kordoba is an alternative indie rock band from Aberdeen, Scotland. We were formed in November of 2004, from a mutual desire to simultaneously exercise and harness the cathartic power of rock music. We preach anger, not angst, combining railing lyrics and rattling guitars with a rich sense of the supernatural and the mysteries of our world.
Our work is in many ways a reflection of the ethos of bitter cynicism which is our modern Scottish heritage. The cynicism comes in many flavours as our style is varied and in places complex.
We also believe there is more to life than this. We believe in bringing down the false positivism and legalistic morality which misrepresents the alternative to our modern day nihilism. We believe in an objective, foundational real love, freedom, purpose, God, from which all that is beautiful flows.
But Kordoba is about the human condition. We observe and construe humanity. We hope you identify with our work. whatever the state of mind, whatever the song. The self-loathing and the selfishness, the grey-tinged euphoria and the loneliness, the sin... and the longing for fulfilment.
Kordoba. Because your emptiness needs to be defined. And re-defined.

Misfits
 | Misfits is Edinburgh's newest alternative night, playing a mash of Indie/Electro/Punk/Rock. Misfits aims to be more than just your run-of-the-mill alternative night, it intends to build a community of clubbers, united across the splintered genres in a common appreciation of all that is alt/indie.
At the heart of it is the website - www.misfitsonline.co.uk - which allows the clubbers to network online, interact on the forums, and log requests for the DJ to track down in advance of the next night. We don't do musical elitism, believing instead that the clubbers should mould the night as much as the DJ - requests made online, as well as on the night, guide us on our way to achieving this.
It's a social experiment of sorts, or clubbing for the myspace generation if you prefer. You could of course just view it as an excuse to go out and mingle with good looking folk whilst listening to a soundtrack that you've influenced.

There are 5 songwriters, 6 unique voices and in the spirit of The Band and Crosby, Stills and Nash, Miyagi have no one frontman. Choosing instead to seek for a true band sound, using which ever voice is best suited to any particular song, and often using all 6 in sprawling harmonies. Oh, and they want to make you dance, or at least move wildly. Check out some of their tunes at www.myspace.com/miyagimusic

Mr Greenfinger
 | In these dark days of boy-bands, pop 'idols' and manufactured shite, is the world truly ready for a band who really are only here to entertain ?
Commanding the stage like a funked-up AC/DC, Mr Greenfinger will rock you and roll you, they will cause you to gyrate wildy, and they will make you smile.....yes, and maybe even HAVE A GOOD TIME !
Full on party music is what you get with Mr G. No holds barred, kick-ass rock'n'roll, with a healthy nod to the ska and reggae they love so much, all combined with a large dose of ranting Scotsman, not seen since the likes of the Sensational Alex Harvey himself.
They only have one official release to date, a four track ep entitled "This Time Next Year" which came out in December 2002 on their own Slinky G label. However they are hoping to record their first album very soon (funds permitting as always !)

Mr. Andy Hill
 | On downtime from his job as singer/guitarist/noisemonger for Edinburgh rock band The Dreamt, (along with other projects) Andy solo takes a quieter (even) more introverted approach. His primary influences are Morrissey/The Smiths and Arab Strap, with such diverse acts as Radiohead and The Streets even finding their way to the mix (he doesn't try to rap though, so don't worry).
At the moment, Andy only performs solo at 'open mic' nights, and you can find him in the basement of the Tron most Sunday nights, getting in his tuppence worth for 15 minutes. However, he will probably be appearing about the fair city of Edinburgh in a more official capacity, hopefully, in the not-so-distant future.

Peter Coia - Songwriter, Composer and Musician.
Born - Bellshill, Lanarkshire, Scotland on October 4th 1952.
After leaving school in 1967, he worked as an apprentice engineer during the day and played guitar in local bars and clubs in the evenings. From his teens to his early twenties he performed solo and in a variety of bands playing styles ranging from Country Western & Folk to Pop. He also learned to play bass guitar, keyboard, classical guitar and began writing and recording his own music, lyrics and poems.
Peter is now an accomplished musician, composer and songwriter, who writes and produces a mixed variety of material under his own label ‘Peter Coia Music’. Although his singing capabilities leaves a lot to be desired (and he is the first person to admit this), the quality and variety of his compositions and his versatility as a musician are exceptional.
Most of his recordings are made in the studio where he plays many of the instruments himself.
Peter Coia now lives in Stirling, Scotland and as well as producing music for ‘Peter Coia Music’, he is the managing editor of 'The Scottish Post'.
There were three albums and two singles released by Peter Coia in 2008 for digital download.

Red Amp
 | Starting in 2004 at NGC (North Glasgow College) the band red amp was formed. Consisting then of 4 members Adele - Drums, Mark - Guitar, Micheal - Bass and Jon - Guitar and Vocals. Through playing small gigs in Glasgow they slowly started to build a small fan base. By mid 2005 the band had now become popular in the city with collection of catchy songs this also saw them switching to a three piece for a much tighter sound. By the end of 2005 and start of 2006 came one of the bands biggest triumps in finishing first in the qualifying rounds and semi final's to reach the finals of Fury Murry's King of the bands in glasgow. Recently there has been a transformation in the Red Amp set up, With Jon McElroy still performing as an accoustic solo artist he put together a set for recording at Clyde Music for the Red Amp songs with help from Darren Findlay on drums and Andrew Chisholm on bass and revive the Red Amp dream. Come check out red amp at a gig near you very soon

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...

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…

After two years of practising in various studios around Glasgow, The Statler Project have played at venues such as the Carling Academy, Barfly, Rockers, ABC, G2, the Arches and Nice and Sleazy's.

The Trade
 | As has happened many times before for many other bands, they split and new ones are formed! In the case of the members of 'The Trade' this happened and never was there a bigger blessing!
5 guys from different backgrounds of work, music and play were all called to for a band to 'give it a go'! Why dream and wait, just try to make it happen!
Drums - Bobo Martin
Lead Guitar - Craig Murray
2nd Guitar - Liam Moir
Bass - Drew McLaren
Vocals - Ross Milne
Indie - Rock!
Fresh sound!
We have known each other for years off and on.
We all knew each other could play, or at least liked to make a sound.
When we got together we had decided it was time to see what we could do and within the space of 4 months meeting once a week we had enough tracks to record our first album, Empire!
Everything just seemed to click!
It's not often that there is so much commitment and enthusiasm from all members of a band... we just love making music!
Give us a listen.
We are building an Empire!

 | Wakeover are a four piece rock band from Glasgow, aka “The Alternative Fantastic Four” - they do the things other bands can only dream of. They pride themselves on their catchy hooks, huge choruses and an energetic and highly polished live performance.
Wakeover is:
James Lwanda – 26 years old, James has been singing with bands and solo on the Glasgow acoustic scene for 7 years. His soulful, powerful vocals help Wakeover stand out from the crowd in the rock market.
Martin Rennie – 22 years old, Martin is a hugely innovative and creative guitarist, and his overall sense of musicianship is highlighted in the dynamic diversity of styles he expertly fuses on this CD. His tremendous technique is offset by his alt rock sensibilities, which combine to make him a bona fide guitar superstar of the future.
Lauren Stephen – 21 years old, it is no idle boast to say that Lauren is one of the best bassists in Scotland, with her tremendous versatility in terms of playing styles and genres complemented by a keen musical brain.
David Hamill – 24 years old, Dave has been drumming for 10 years with various bands but thing really clicked once he found Wakeover, as his groove-laden style and intelligent beats complement the band perfectly.
The band have played throughout Scotland, including King Tuts, Barfly and Whistle Binkies, in various incarnations in the past, and have already attracted record label interest since forming Wakeover last year.

Yellow Bentines
 | The short version:
Yellow Bentines are a 6 piece band from Glasgow.
If you can be bothered reading, here's a brief history (the long version!)
Yellow Bentines were formed in May 2004 from the ashes of the popular Glasgow band The Devotions who had supported the likes of Keane, The Glitterati and The Parkinsons. Martin Hay and Peter Hall originally created the band as a side project so that they could perform some of their acoustic and piano based songs that would have never fitted in a Devotions set. However when 'The Devotions' split in July 2004 Yellow Bentines became the focus of their attention.
A month passes and the boys decide to get a rhythm section for the band, up steps Graham Lough on bass/backing vocals and Andy Hall on Drums. The Bentines now have a much bigger sound and are ready to play live but something is still missing. Before their first gig in August 2004 David Hay is recruited to play trumpet in a few songs, this eventually turns into every song and the Yellow Bentines are finally complete.
Months go happily by while the Bentines get more and more gigs under their collective belt. They support bands like Editors and Brakes, receive airplay, collect more fans and get more and more confident with each show. But then disaster. Having fulfilled his lifelong dream to be in a band David decides its time to settle down, unfortunately for the rest of the guys he wants to settle in Australia. The hunt for a trumpet player begins.
Adverts go up everywhere and anywhere and eventually Yellow Bentines find a willing and able trumpeteer. Or two. Not being a band to turn their noses up at a two for one deal both Sarah Findlay and Chris Connor are swiftly enrolled into the ranks of the Bentines and those trumpet harmonies had never sounded sweeter.
Everything is going great and couple of months pass. The band had played a few more gigs, supported the likes of the Arctic Monkeys and gained even more fans. But the next big blow was just round the corner, when Graham Lough and the Yellow Bentines parted ways.
In Grahams own words his leaving was not down to 'artistic differences' it was something more poignant, emotionally distressing and wholly indescribable, at least outside a court of law. This was definitely a sad time for everyone involved and indeed a low point for the Bentines, however there were gigs on the horizon and bass player shaped hole in the band that desperately needed filling. There was only one man for the job, or should that be one man willing to do the job: Ruairidh Galbraith, the teenage guitar hero for the distant land of Taynuilt, Near Oban, just a two hour drive up the A82.
The band was once more fighting fit and ready for gigging action no matter how many pairs of knickers are thrown at Connor....
