Bouncing Souls
Life after Hot Water Music is a unenviable trek, more so when your new band is considering ‘HWM Lite’. It feels though that The Draft have taken the progression of HWM, grown a bit, but lost none of the live presence that built the foundations.
The Bouncing Souls are still, pound for pound, one of the best punk bands playing today. Yes the overly eager fans get annoying (I didn’t pay £13 to hear some Bristol drunkard sing) but that’s their selling point, still believing in the punk community. The new songs are evolving, especially The Gold Song which seems to be the current album’s True Believers. As fun and energetic as ever. Adam Gasson

The Will Ferrell formula is one that can be broken down into three distinct ingredients. The first of these is that his characters must always be highly successful braggarts with delusions of grandeur.
Mixtape 2
The alternative evening to the volume next door begins with The Spencer McGarry Season, a three man band from Cardiff, who boast a delightfully upbeat, eclectic sound, with jangly guitars and effortless vocals. Both charming and infectious, they’ll make you tap your feet, smile and bob your head like a dickhead. Maybe it’s the braces.
The Jock
This unique species seem to breed only in the highly charged, competitive and testosterone filled world of University Sports. For the most part, they can be found loitering outside the back of the Union on a Wednesday, proudly wearing their red and black jackets.
How does Scotland sound?
Scotland is a country that has a surprisingly diverse array of musical talent for a country of its size. It generally lacks the powerhouses of Wales, such as your common-garden Manics and Stereophonics, instead birthing bands with smaller but equally passionate fanbases.
