There are at least 9 of them, not 3 or 5 or 7 but 9, and they play ska.

Have supported more Scottish music than the entire Scottish arts establishment, and a fave of John Peel's.

Understand how the world is really run.

Hot new take on the classic 3-piece. They rock darkly, but not gothly.

Still believe Yuri Gagarin was the 1st man in space?

Very vocal website of this innovative internationalist glasgow label. They put out SOYUZ.

An honest guitar shop, honest!

Vegan and idealist. Endless support for and from Scottish music. They would be Noam Chomsky's favourite bars, if he knew about them.

Top photographer, all film, mostly B/W.

Robots!

They've got synths, funky tunes and a cool Russian singer - pushes all our buttons. Dosvidanya!

Jim(bot)'s dark cosmonaut soundtrack project.

A truly great band, real art/rock. They influenced Nirvana, NIN, Depeche Mode...
