Ex Wives

Ex Wives are two divorced women and a drum machine. Despite the obvious heartache and mistrust of men, they have bonded closely to make loud, noisy music; all of which is loosely based on the film Disclosure, starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. It's like Le Tigre, but with less facial hair.

Savage Sound System

http://www.myspace.com/savagesoundsystem The Savage Sound System began, both sonically and biologically, in a handful of rented rooms on the East Coast of Scotland.
After buying their inspiration second-hand, they frequently found themselves, without prior notice, recording surprisingly tasteful noises. These are systematically projected into the void. Historical Notes:

FoxKillFox

Three piece scuzzy melodic grunge outfit from Glasgow, Scotland. Foxkillfox are regulars on the Glasgow and Edinburgh indie circuits and have a sound that draws influence from stalwarts such as dinosaur jr and the pixies. The vocals of Tom Hutchison retain a strong Scottish twang however, and help to create the band's unique sound.

The Cinnamons

The Cinnamons equate to a fresh slant on the (phenomenal) pop-scene blossoming from Glasgow, Scotland.
Influences from The Pixies through 80's electronica - they manage to steer well clear of the well trod paths of Glasvegas/Franz Ferdinand/Simple Minds mindset - 'we want to rock stadiums' to produce a sound that is instant as it is unique as it is infectious. A truly talented band that I was fortunate enough to catch on their last tour - Lucasda Jan '09

Le Reno Amps

Le Reno Amps were born of sorrow in the North East of Scotland. In 2004 they moved south to Glasgow to spread their joyous word, play lots of shows and write lots of songs. Nothing ever came so quickly that they could say that it was easy, but here they are ready to tickle your listening lobes. Scott Maple and Al Nero formed Le Reno Amps with the simple premise that every song they write should stand up to the test whether it played on an old beaten up acoustic guitar or with a full band behind them.
