New Songs For September

Candy Darling

'Money'

(Sept 1st 2014)

Sleaze grinding psychedelic post punk electronica dragged through a mire of heavy Suicide, Jesus And Mary Chain, Nick Cave influence lashed to the torso of their very own idiosyncratic style. As if that wasn't thrilling enough it will be available on pink vinyl. Splendide finale!

Damn Vandals

'Cities Of A Plastic World/Too Lazy To Die Too Stoned To Live

(Sept 22nd 2014)

Grit edged, ballsy rock & roll and in yer face. Featuring two tracks taken from the highly acclaimed recent album Rocket Out Of London for brand new double A side single by the band currently considered top of the heap. With no sign of weakening to be seen the way forward continues to be the way they shall be travelling!

Reptile Youth

'Structures'

(Sept 8th 2014)

A zestful soundscape interblend of the ethereal calm and fevered agitation. Crashing drums making way for tinkling piano...brazenly vociferous to harmonious composure. Taken from recent album 'Rivers That Run For A Sea That Is Gone' it's another gem of a single from the Northern Europeans.

A previously unreleased track by former Fife band Draw covering American band LOVE's 1967 hit 'Alone Again Or' will be released by the band's former manager Nicholas Russell with all proceeds going directly to the Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) Draw recorded the cover in 2003.  The original single featured on LOVE’s critically acclaimed album Forever Changes, cited as of one of the most influential albums in history.  Mr Russell said he was delighted to be releasing the single and that it was supporting CHAS.“A reason behind releasing this never-before-heard single was to firstly show appreciation for the extraordinary talent of Draw, which had a relatively short but very exciting career within the music industry,” he said. “I am really excited to be able to share this unique and exceptional track, which is an absolute gem from the archive. Not even the band themselves ever heard the final mastered version'

Louise Distras: Love Me The Way I Am.

Homophobia isn't as courageous, unconstrained or point-blank as most of us assume it to be. It doesn't shout loud but insinuates quietly. It rarely has the guts to stand up tall and verbalise so permeates with negative suggestion, it's poisoned malignance and bitter resent too unsophisticated to advocate with anything of any pertinence. It worms and it tunnels and it burrows with whispered prejudice until it becomes internalised in it's victims through their own perception of how they see themselves. That is the very worst of prejudices, the least visible but the most damaging. Thankfully it doesn't always win...but when it does. I am neither homosexual, bi-sexual or homophobic. I don't know how it must feel but, through the words of those I know who do, I can appreciate how it feels. The new single by Louise Distras 'Love Me The Way I Am' is her very personal and very tasteful interpretation of that very subject, based on and written about the experiences of a close friend and, regardless the narratives or the musics genre or even the 'protest singer' tag she has inherited....love IS love no matter what. I don't have the intellect or proper understanding to furnish it with anything other than the worthless opinionated conjecture, lousy with cliches, that seem to dress the bones of a review - and which are rarely about the context and all about the music anyway...so I wont even bother.
