Local band recommendations
Edinburgh
Auntie Vicious:
The Riot Girrl outfit from Sophie (Little Love), Nora (Little Love, PAL, Riarki & Hersel), & Lynnette (Llennett, Storm in a D Cup). Disco Grunge - a Queer powered up explosion of angst to make you dance - a new album out soon!
Burnt Paw
Captivating alternative psychedelic dreamy electric folk about quests and adventures from a Wizard. May contain references to Dragons, Cats and Mountains.
The Chunks
Wonky Indie group sometimes in four parts, other times in three. Fuzzy and skronky sounds do the tango with catchy poppy choruses and weavy grooves.
Gaze is Ghost
Alternative, ethereal, spacious and bewitching baroque pop. "Spectral vocals and impressionist piano playing"
Lou McLean
A singer-songwriter, making riot-grrl pop about her life, specialising in sweet melodies and razor sharp lyrics.
Lisa the Beauty Queen:
Dark electronica/hyperpop. She reminded me of Daft Punk and she was incredible live - very entrancing.
Macon Heights:
Dystopian electronica duo soundtracking a town that doesn’t exist with soaring female vocals, edgy synths and thumping beats. Formed in 2018 the duo combine pop sensibilities with distorted samples to create their own unique blend of sounds.
Mally Smith:
Mally is a musician & songwriter with a beautiful voice who write songs from the heart.
Maud the Moth
An Insect creating haunting, beautiful and hypnotic soundscapes. She "draws on a wide-ranging musical background, including traditional folk, jazz, classical, avant-garde and rock."
Mike McKenzie
Mike McKenzie is an award winning singer/songwriter & producer.
The Omega Corridor:
Indie/post-punk. The Omega Corridor are a four-piece busy working on effects and obscure chords, in a desperate bid to create the last sound from the last band you will ever hear on your final walk of triumph or shame.
PAL:
An all girl 3 piece band with a boy drummer!
Riarki & Hersel:
Abass/guitar duo. Too much reverb please.
Sha Rivari
The 21st century synth punk band providing retrofuturistic riffs for the freaks of today! What's that? A criss-cross between dark wave, garage rock, electroclash and post punk.
Suffrajitsu
This amazing band exercise their own brand of punky feminist musical anarchy.
Thundermoon
Cosmic queer sounds from the moon. Electro-Synth-Wave-Dance-Punk.
Glasgow
Alexx Munroe
Acoustic punk rock (they/them).
Joe Bone & the Dark Vibes:
Music with an edge "Joe Bone sounds to me like a Scottish Dr John for the 21st Century," (Tom Robinson, BBC).
Lana Wild
Noisy female singer-songwriter from Edinburgh. Sometimes solo, sometimes loud. Debut album coming soon!
