Many incredible singer-songwriters come from the streets. Multi-talented Daniel Docherty (31) from Glasgow is one of those. We’re not talking about being streetwise but about growing up in public, mastering your skills while busking in the streets, parks and shopping arcades. Docherty has ‘seen it all’ and has earned his stripes.

If it would still be the sixties now, you would have encountered him in the coffee houses at MacDougal Street in New York, where Dylan and his peers learned their craft. But he’s no longer a rough diamond. He’s ready to take the next step. Docherty is clearly experienced performing live to crowds of all sizes. He is equally happy to play for a small crowd or a packed Carré Theatre in Amsterdam, where he is signed to the [PIAS] label. [PIAS] discovered him at the annual Eurosonic international showcase festival in the Netherlands and instantly recognized his enormous potential. The lowlands have quite a reputation as a test market. It has served as launching platform for singer- songwriters like Gavin James and Ben Howard before.

Their debut EP ‘The Weekend Ritual’, released in December 2022, championed by BBC Radio 1 as ‘ones to watch’ for 2023, Variance Magazine, The Independent’s ‘Now Hear This’ and RTE, saw Adult Leisure truly announcing themselves as a band not to be missed.

Most recently the band released their latest single ‘Bad Idea’ which drew acclaim from Double J and was subsequently added to Spotify’s melomania playlist alongside peers such as Shame and Yard Act to name a few.

Award-winning jazz vocalist Marta Del Grandi returns with “Selva”, her most intricate and shimmering effort yet – a refined devotional suite of astute pop that effortlessly unites emotional complexity and divine organic arrangements with a sci-fi finish.

Her songwriting – patching electronic synths against ambient elements with a touch of modern classical – taps into areas that go beyond words. Beams of choral light radiate and permeate each track, with layered vocal drones that create a cathartic collision of sharp and soft textures. It’s a record of sprawling, ethereal pop that’s at once vivid, immense and fully illuminated.

Fuelled by a love of Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, Francis of Delirium’s music is, in her own words, “pop music dressed up in a rock outfit.”

Previously a duo, the artistic persona is now the solo-project of Luxembourg-based Jana Bahrich; an outlet for her rawest emotions, with ragged vocals and loud/soft dynamics paying tribute to her favourite acts. New track “Real Love” builds on the 90’s alt-rock stylings of earlier releases, although this time she’s letting down her defences against a softer, more fragile backdrop.

La Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements, and minimalistic melodic hooks. After years of writing earworms for the pleasure of beautiful weirdos, all the while strutting their style on tour with their many different projects (Choses Sauvages, Laurence-Anne, Silver Dapple, etc.), the motley bunch now meanders the fringes of punk, new wave and krautrock.

Edinburgh garage-punks Casual Drag return for a hometown headline at Sneaky Pete’s to launch their new single ‘Can You Hear Me Now?’ – with support from Glasgow punks the Crails

Snarling vocals over feral guitar riffs, backed by pounding drums and bass – Scottish garage punk three-piece Casual Drag have earned a reputation as a must-see live band through a series of packed and frenetic shows across their homeland.

Their standout brand of clattering garage-rock has led to support slots with Joe Talbot of IDLES, Lice, Flat Worms, JOHN and Press Club. Singles ‘Bleach Head’ and ‘Something Good’ were championed by BBC Introducing, BBC6 Music and Amazing Radio.

Their debut EP ‘Revolution Will Eat Itself’ landed in 2023 and immediately gained wider attention. It’s a body of work that encapsulates their raucous live shows. There is a drive and energy embedded within their music, raw and edgy with twisted riffs and crashing drums.

Their new single ‘Can You Hear Me Now?’ was recorded at Green Door Studios with Ronan Fay of Sweaty Palms.

Hot Garbage melt into a heavily volatile yet undeniably palatable amalgamation of sonic elements. Calling on the driving rhythms of dark post-punk and motorik krautrock, the Toronto-based outfit seamlessly works shining melodies and swirling textures into deliberate, brooding arrangements.

The quartet now returns with Precious Dream (January 19, 2024 via Mothland & Exag’ Records), a sprawling collection of songs written in isolation and brought together alongside visionary producer Graham Walsh (METZ, Preoccupations, Holy Fuck, !!!), offering an exhilarating new breath into the world of post-punk and modern psychedelia, a listening experience that is equally cathartic and introspective.

Full Flower Moon band are the definition of rock ‘n’ roll…

Frontwoman persona ‘Babyshakes Dillon’, walks in many shoes, from snakeskin boots to stilettos. This alter ego can act as a convenient buffer between the songwriter and their words, particularly when they’re bowing at the altar of excess.

Their 2022 album ‘Diesel Forever’ catapulted opportunities for the band, having wrapped a national tour with The Black Crowes; the band has quickly solidified themselves as one of Australia’s biggest rock acts, with festival slots on Splendour In The Grass, Yours & Owls and more.

So named to suggest a project that is expansive and fully open to possibility. Get ready for the turbulence that is Full Flower Moon Band.

Ducks Ltd. make inviting and frenetic guitar pop for when life feels overwhelming.

Fresh from being nominated as BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year, Edinburgh five-piece band rEDOLENT have today announced the release of their anticipated debut album, ‘dinny greet’, set to be released on 17th May via the burgeoning Scottish label and artist house Post Electric (home to Hamish Hawk, Humour, Iona Zajac & Voka Gentle). Alongside the news, they’ve shared a new single – the title track from the LP, which means ‘don’t cry’ in Scots.

Premiered by Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music and undoubtedly one of the strongest tracks the band have released to date,

Speaking about the meaning behind the song, frontman Robin Herbert explains, “It’s about living with someone and sharing their mood. Trying to keep it positive, to tackle life together. It’s little snapshots of things I’ve heard or said; me and Alice trying to cheer each other up in the depths of lockdown depression. Either with some daft fantasy: “We’ll go out in new
clothes every night”, “neither of your parents will ever die”. Or by just reminding each other that it’s not so bad with the simple things: “The sun’s between the blinds”, “You’re off tomorrow”. It’s a hopeful prod of encouragement to try and be happy with what you have.

Because it’s often so much more than you think.”

Cala is a Scottish Neo-Trad band, originally from Inverness. Their style fuses elements of Scottish traditional/folk with contemporary music of all kinds, inspired by the vibrant Scottish Trad scene.

They began their studio career in 2020 with Causeway and started to gain momentum with Highland festivals such as Under Canvas, The Gathering, and Belladrum. In the summer of 2022, Cala embarked to the Isle of Lewis to record their debut album From the River with Keith Morrison of Wee Studio. It was released in March of 2023, and they celebrated with their first self-promoted show; a sold-out album release party in their hometown of Inverness. Their music has taken them all over Scotland, and more recently as far as France with Festival Interceltique du Lorient.

In late 2023, they recorded and released their latest single Two-stroke Wheelbarrow with Scott Wood of Oak Ridge Studios. The track offers a glimpse into the much bolder and more experimental style they’ve been developing since the release of their debut album. In 2024, they’ll return to Belladrum and The Gathering. They’ll also make their first appearance at Glasgow’s new festival The Reeling, with more exciting announcements lined up. The band continues to push themselves creatively and their passion for writing and performing grows ever stronger. Watch this space.
