A budding city for musical flair, Edinburgh has undoubtedly become home to many artists with a distinctly raw edge, and so it comes as no surprise that in amongst these sits the seasoned but sparkling Graeme Mearns Band.  Having been no strangers to the Scottish music scene for quite some time now, their debut album Some Kind of Bliss is a true reflection of how The GMB have come to sound over the past couple of years.

It is always such a lovely thing, when you hear a band for the very first time and all you can think of is how you've never heard anything quite like it before. A breath of fresh air across the current music scene, Grand Atlantic have already managed to make quite an impression on those who have been lucky enough to have discovered even a taster of Australia's finest. Their latest release This Is Grand Atlantic is just one of those albums; traditional yet innovative, with that little dash of their own unique identity, really making it something quite special.

Something wicked this way comes. I am fairly certain that had The Scratch been around at punk rock prime time, they would have given the likes of The Buzzcocks and The Who a jolly good run for their money. It has been some time since this more classic style of punk rock has graced the airwaves, and I think that really, it's about time. Make way for The Scratch, a five piece hailing from St. Albans who, since their debut in 2003, have really known how to make some noise.
