MUSIC: INTRODUCING: AYAKARA, SOOTHE YA EP

Ayakara are a band from Leith, known for their sweaty live shows and having intense love for what they do. Ayakara surf on a blurred line between smooth jazz and shimmery rock. Laying homage to the soulful strummings of Stevie Wonder and the wordy wiles of Alex Turner's solo stuff; Soothe Ya EP is exactly what it says on the tin. Put your favourite 90s Hawaiian shirt on, grab a pint and let that sweet melody Soothe Ya. "You swing your arms like a soldier just cos somebody tol

MUSIC: HIGHLIGHTS @ THE BIG DISCOVERY 2016 (5): INDIGO VELVET

Saturday the 23rd of April was the first ever Big Discovery Festival in Edinburgh.

Here's our fifth and final pick from Saturday's events. Indigo Velvet - The Mash House Indigo Velvet are classic indie-pop. Their songs are bright and positive, reflecting that summer mindset we long for all year round. A simple f

MUSIC: HIGHLIGHTS @ THE BIG DISCOVERY 2016 (1): ECHO VALLEY

MUSIC: INTRODUCING: THEE MVPs

MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS Thee MVPs are a London based band. Scuzzy, messy rock 'n' roll is what they do best. The band have been touring furiously in the USA over the past month, funding most of the trip from their own pockets. Their DIY attitude and love for what they do, screams through their music and smacks the listener in the face. It isn't just one of those limp slaps either; it's the kind of slap that leaves your face tingling for hours after. One of those clean slaps tha

SINGLE REVIEW: Twin Peaks newest release, Butterfly 30/03/2016

Butterfly is the follow-up track to Twin Peaks' previous 2016 release, Walk To The One You Love. Both tracks ooze apathetic romance: "I won't cry, I'll beg for you to stay." "Oh, it's such a butterfly feeling to have you for a friend." Butterfly is a spiralling, almost-but-not-quite love song. Simple chords intertwine with feathery bass strokes to create a seductive dance melody. Frontman, Cadien Lake James, spews abrasive vocals into a mix that is otherwise gentle and ende
