Sneaky Pete's

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. 

Returning to the capital’s infamous sweatbox with none other than digger-extraordinaire Vlada.

Not out of place alongside the most revered DJs in the game, the Berlin-based selector has rightfully earned her reputation as a master of rare electronic dance music traversing the genres of house, electro, minimal techno and trance.

Expect all things deep and obscure at the Waking life and Houghton festival regular’s long-awaited Scottish debut.

Support from Sneaky Pete’s and Balamii resident Aidan Gibson.

Deaf Test, his own label and party at favourite Venue MOT, allows him to traverse his spectrum of sounds with a playful approach – the latest release ’They Don’t Love It Like We Do’ – his own strain of club rattling house music (it makes me smile every time I hear it in le club)

Giant Hogweed are an exuberant trumpet-led 5 piece experimenting with jazz harmony, thorny composition and visceral, driving, psychedelic blues. Their sound emerges from the tensions amongst their varied musical backgrounds resulting in something unique and theirs.

Bütter stand out from the crowd, with their own unique, freewheeling, psychedelic spirit. They play a modern kind of kaleidoscopic rock’n’roll that nods to OSEES and King Gizzard, but takes in elements of original 60’s freakbeat, jazz and soul. There are inevitable comparisons to The Doors, and that’s no bad thing. Strong soulful vocals, boundless energy and wild-man musicianship ensure that they’re one of the most exciting LIVE bands I’ve seen in ages. I’ve enjoyed their singles so far, and I look forward to a full album – no doubt it will blow all our minds!”
