“This moody and atmospheric effort from black-clad four-piece Junius is nothing short of breathtaking. 9/10” – Rock Sound
“Martyrdom is a brooding opus of frenetic crescendos, sweeping vocals and celestial landscapes.” – Magnet
“Simply gargantuan. Junius push the sonic envelope so that every note rings as long and as dramatic as possible. While other bands may be overcome by this ambition, Junius succeed… in a very large way.” – Fuel TV
“This darkly lush epic is the best soundtrack for reveling in the melancholy of actually living since My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless.” – Alternative Press

Three Blind Wolves, formerly Ross Clark and the Scarves, are Glasgow’s most uplifting country rock’n’roll blowout band. Playing this date around supports for Frightened Rabbit, they’re inspiring a cabal of fans that are aware they’re found a real talent. Catch them here before they hit the very big time.

PIDDY PY was making such a crazy noise down Mosside, Manchester that the Dress 2 Sweat crew heard him all the way up in Glasgow, and got his bassline-wonk anthem Giggle Riddim straight out there.
Piddy Py is the Bassline phemonenon from Moss Side in Manchester whose supporters include Scratch Perverts, Herve, Sinden, Diplo and Switch, currently sending clubs from London to Glasgow into a frenzy via the two huge anthems licked up and down the 12″ with ‘Giggle Riddim’ and ‘Prickly Rose’.
The party crew will be aware of ‘Giggle Riddim’ from Switch and Sinden’s stupendous Fabriclive mix last year, with the instantly memorable sample of ecstatic girly laughter that lends the track it’s name, followed by a detonating synthline that we’ve witnessed causing serious damage on a packed dancefloor many times. After playing his tunes for the past 6 months, Stepback now welcomes the man himself to perform on the Sneaky Pete’s stage.
There’s not a great deal out there comparable to the sound Piddy Py makes, but you can hear in the way the beats slide away from each other that there’s something of Hud’ Mo’ or Rustie about him.
But there’s a lot more besides, especially since his tempo and vibe is real UP! All swishing round in there are elements of Bassline House, RnB, Dubstep, Hip Hop, D&B, Funky House, Electro & Minimal Techno.
Also billing are residents Wolfjazz and Keyte, plus buddy Hammay turns thirty and wants to make a big noise about it.
FREE B4 12, £3 after, members free all night.
Described as “one of Scotland’s best kept secrets”, Glaswegian singer/songwriter Roddy Hart promises to shake off the tag with the release of his second studio album Sign Language on Vertical Records.
Inviting comparisons with greats such as Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, Hart has established himself as an artist in the classic mould, and is gaining a growing reputation for his live shows with his band, The Lonesome Fire.
