Aidez-Moi!

Aidez-Moi meld New Wave, Electronica and Rock, all with the overarching Punk ethos. Formed in 2005 and started 'properly' in mid-2006, Aidez-Moi are five firm friends with a passion for music. Incorporating lavish tales about fictitious characters with stories about pre-industry Scotland and post-millennial angst helps provide them with a unique sound: Part 70s but also very modern...

Sluts of Trust

Since the Sluts of Trust first unleashed their wildly original brand of sleazy rock music to an unsuspecting audience at King Tut's on New Year's Eve 2002, they have become something of a phenomenon in their home town of Glasgow. Comprising John McFarlane's salacious lyrics of sexual combat and skuzzy, roller-coaster guitar-work and the incessant ferocity of Roo Harris' athletic drumming, the band's blistering performances command an immediate and intense response. Following a UK tour and dates in Europe, the band released a limited edition debut single which sold out in a week.
