Here is yet another compilation tape, this time the first release from Glasgow based, tape only label 45 A-side records.As compilations go its not a bad effort at all featuring 16 bands, mostly all of which hail from Scotland.

For me it finally allowed me to gain a hold off new recorded output from Stonehaven noise merchants PVH which was pretty sweet their track "Year Old girl cherries" features the line "love young girls", brilliant. Stonehaven is supported well on this tape from the inclussion of Copy Haho's track "Shooting at the sky" which is just over 2 minutes of absolutely indie joy, Copy Haho write brilliant song and have no doubt I will be hearing alot more of them soon.

Dundees Juliet Kilo provide the biggest singalong with "You'll never be an artist", some nice riffs and harmonies. Another top class band from Dundee Archives add in a bit of screamo in the vein of Envy and Glasgow band Take a worm for a walk week's track "Lumber Puncture" is 30 seconds of pure noise core which leaves you wanting more.

All in all a well rounded compilation which would perhaps benefit from being slightly narrower in the choices of genres covered. Looking forward to future releases.

Happy Holy Roar compilation tape

This limited edition tape (100 copies) was released just before christmas and contains either unreleased tracks or tracks which have only appeared on demos of bands on one of the most exciting labels in the UK just now, holy Roar records.

Highlights include:

Maths heavily Orchid influenced screamo who are one of the country's best at said genre.
Omerta sound to me what The Locust would sound like if they liked metal and made songs over 1 and a half minutes
The heavily Botch influenced Tortuga's track "Dance like no-ones watching" is brutal from start to finish
Tubelord provide the compilation with a break from pounding riffs and mix together a wide range of influences much like early biffy but with a more frantic edge
Phoenix bodies cover of Minor Threats "Filler"


The only downside of the compilation are the fact that the labels probably two best band, Cutting Pink with knives and Rolo Tomasi are represented by poor tracks which do not reflect the quality of either band.

All in all a good purchase,if anyone fancies a copy (presume that will be alright as its sold out now) just get in touch.
