Whatever they are drinking, I'll have the same! 'Release the Lions' is an impossibly funky, infectiously melodic aural delight! So far it's the only song by them I have heard, but I'm already addicted to their highly original trashy and sleazy sound.

This week's interviewee is lead singer/guitarist Neb from the brilliant Glasgow band Playtone. The band were forced to change their original name of 'Plankton' as it was also the name of the local fishmonger's band made up of several shops from the West of Scotland (they played sole music he he). Neb changed the name after an agreement was struck that meant that they were entitled to free fish suppers after every gig in the Port Glasgow area (salt n' sauce not included).

Hey ho, another week, another interview. Graeme Duff is this week's subject and he fronts the Glasgow rock band Marshan . Marshan have taken their music to the four corners of the world; Japan, USA and Germany to name but a few. Unfortunately the guys are unlikely to be playing in Macedonia any time soon, since the fall of communism sales of Barry Manilow's 1983 album 'Manilow Magic' have risen 200% in the country and its hunger for middle of the road easy listening music knows no bounds. It is thought that this summer's fashion must have for the kids of Macedonia is a white suit and black waist coat combo.

Blimey O'Riley, you are gonna need a comfy seat and a nice cup of cocoa for this one. Scottish electronica activist Old Sarge has kindly answered the questions this time round and boy didn't he do a thorough job of it. After receiving his completed interview we had to employ the team of editors that worked on War and Peace to edit the thing down. Don't get me wrong I prefer this to one word answers or like David Blaine holding your hand up to the interviewer to show a crappy drawing of an eye every time he asks a question. No what I object to is that Old Sarge can spout more shite than me, this is my house Old Sarge and don't forget it.

Picture yourself as the star of a sprightly and whimsical film, drenched in a summer time of merry tomfoolery. The music you hear? That is the sound of Isosceles; a gaggle of Glaswegian fellows whose musical delicacies lend themselves quite nicely to a scorching summer soundtrack.

And now for something completely different - Futuristic Retro Champions are a band that seems to be innovation personified. If it were possible to collect sunshine in a sound bite, then this here would be your evidence. Quite unlike pretty much anything else you will hear nowadays, this sunny slice of happy hardcore, emotronic (which, for the records, happens to be the best adjective ever) pop is just what the current music scene needs in terms of something fresh and something new.

When I was told I'd be reviewing Tyrannothesaurus and I read the word ‘emotronic' I thought ‘Tricky... how am I going to listen to it without vomiting blood?' but now I HAVE heard it, I'm pleased to inform you that I wouldn't necessarily describe it as emotronic. It's actually damn good. ‘Break Things' is an aural treat-it reminds me of watching children's TV programmes on acid. Sporadic and punchy, a great song to drive around checking people out to this summer.

Having landed with a delightful thud, it is time to proudly announce the arrival of Hi 5 Alive; hailing from the blossoming Glaswegian music scene, the three-piece have already made quite an impression having appeared on several stages across the country. Enticing eager ears with their blend of upbeat and mellow sounds, the trio of Scottish lovelies have made it just in time for festival season where, I am sure, such musical treats would not go amiss.

A dizzy and delicious whirlwind of sound, Popup's up and coming single Love Triangle proves that this Glaswegian four-piece are by no means a force to be reckoned with. Delicately mingling a little bit of Cajun Dance Party's vibrancy with an established and grandiose style quality a bit like that of Death Cab for Cutie, these super Scots really know how to make some beautiful noise.

What do Glasvegas, 80's pop legend Tiffany, and KT Tunstall, have in common? The answer is Kid Canaveral, a Scottish four piece that have opened for all of them. These musical icons of varying talent (surely no one can ever hope to beat I Think We're Alone Now on the talent stakes?) obviously know a good thing when they hear one.

Top Glasgow band The Apple Scruffs hit us yet again with a massive anthem! Possibly one of the best sounding Scottish acts around at the moment, they are going from strength to strength and gaining more and more momentum, in fact if The Apple Scruffs were a run away train, they'd be going so fast the tracks would melt beneath them!

Wowser - Scotland really seems to be the sparkling hotbed for new talent these days, demonstrated very nicely indeed by up-and-coming Glaswegian gems, There Will Be Fireworks. Just the band name alone simply screams cool, but just wait until you hear the product.
