This ironic tale of the bands own name anguishly cries out for a new sound instead of as they describe “the same old fashion, but with less passion.” And it seems the band have taken it upon themselves to complete the ambitious quest and give us something new and tasty to sink our music thirsty fangs into.

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 song has the potential to be the feel good indie anthem of the year. It is so different yet it sounds as if you have always had 51 Breaks in your record collection. Embers feels like a classic you have loved but with its modern twist you know that it is setting the pace for more new and exciting music.

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).

The guys from punk rock band F451 came in for an interview recently. They are such a ball of energy those boys. Lead singer Jez was so fired up he could not sit still for 2 seconds. Unfortunately this proved to be very annoying and we had to knock him out with a BA Baracus style 'I ain't going on no plane fool' glass of milk. It was OK though he woke up later with a slight headache and a pair of shaved testicles.

Rob Manton lead singer of Manchester band Hey Bulldog took the interview questions from the Yahoo! Answers freakshow this week. Rob was at pains to say that he did not want to come out looking bad from the interview and he also didn't want me to make stuff up about him in the intro text like I usually do. This was a bit hurtful as I put in a lot of research before writing about an interviewee. It was OK though as we made up later, Rob is a centaur you see so I gave his back end a good grooming, fed him a sugar cube and patted him on the head and told him he was a good half horse half man.

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.
