The humble cassette is the most derided of formats. Sure, it doesn’t sound as good as CD and certainly doesn’t have the warm fuzz associated with vinyl but as objects go, it’s just so darn cute! This dinky cassette collects together some of Scotland’s top underground (and unsigned) talent. Bringing to mind the cult US punk label SST (many of whose releases were cassette-only, fact fans), this album is an ambitious release. Extremely eclectic, avant metallers Take A Worm For A Walk Week shake hands with the Jeff Buckley-isms of Hijak Oscar. It would be useless to catalogue all the acts on here, given their varied genre and location, but it’s safe to say that most of these won’t be household names in anyone’s home (except perhaps their own). A few favourites then: Juliet Kilo’s savage rock will tear the hair off your head, so stock up on wigs. Twin Atlantic sound like an indie band who have swapped ’Skins’ for ’River City’, whilst This July look set to make this a summer to remember. A genuine curiosity, this may well become the best compilation of Scottish talent to be collected recently - the sort of thing the word ’seminal’ was coined for.

Well launch night was absolutely great. We got over the slight hiccup of 2 last minute pull outs and the lack of a bass amp and i would even go as far as saying the night was a success!
Firstly thanks has got to go to Caldo from This July for sorting out our bass amp problems at the last minute. Another thanks has got to go out to Craig Grant from Union of Knives who stepped in at the last minute to play a superb acoustic set. Covers ranged from Arcade Fire to Death Cab, to Frightened Rabbit and Twin Atlantic. Thanks also goes out to Bar Bloc for having us and for generally being the greatest place on earth.
Hyena being the only band who actually showed up we let them play for as long as they wanted. And im fucking glad we did because they were proper good. Everyone should check out this band, one of the best Glasgow has to offer.
MalkyB spun the discs all night and played a great set. Artists included Los Campesinos, Miss Atlanta, APB, Joy Division and even the Mortal Kombat theme tune!
Thanks to everyone who came down and bought tapes. Hopefully we'll be putting on something else soon. If you didn't purcahse a copy of the compilation you can get one form messaging us on this very page.
