Cancel The Astronauts are one of Edinburgh's most exciting upcoming bands. They perform 'secretly miserable pop tunes' that people love to dance to, and are due to release their brand new single Intervention, following up from their two critically acclaimed EP's, and their stint on the T-break stage at T in the Park. This will consist of the following:
A. Intervention
B1. Echoes of Love
B2. The Hardest Thing
This can be found and downloaded on CAT's Bandcamp for a mere £3: http://canceltheastronauts.bandcamp.com/
Hard copy CD's will be released on April 16th- the same day iTunes put it up for download.
I have had the privilege of receiving a copy of this single already and it's fair to say I'm more than impressed.
Opening with Intervention, we are hit with the powerful synths, foot tapping, head nodding drum beats and catchy lyrics. This particular song "documents those messy ends and sleepless nights when a relationship
is over bar the admission of it." From listening, you could never tell this was the meaning. How secretly depressing. The next track Echoes of Love features much more guitar with softer interlinking synth. Coincidently, the crux of this follow on track is the loss of love- depression is a recurring theme.
Lastly, the acoustic The Hardest Thing brings a much more mellow end to the single, a calming end to indie pop tunes. And guess what the general feeling stemming from this track is?
Overall, Cancel The Astronauts are setting a name for themselves with the release of this single. The flawless synth will play a big part at gigs (a list of which to follow) as it will appeal to the young, energetic crowds of Scotland- and hopefully further afield. If you're liking their sounds, why not catch them at any of their upcoming gigs:
24th March - Sneaky Pete's, EDINBURGH (wIThe Bad Books & Fuzzy Star)
6th April- Henry's Cellar Bar, EDINBURGH (wi Astronaut Head, The Cosmonauts & Fishing For Seagulls)

- The Draynes - Single Launch
Friday night saw the launch of The Draynes debut single at the Mash House, with support from some of Edinburgh's top up-and-coming bands. On early doors, rock-pop band Miasma took to the stage. The band have been together since 2009 and their experience...

With a new album on the horizon, Scottish 5 piece The Deep Red Sky have unveiled the first single to be taken from the album due on the 13th of May. The album will be called Plans. The band have released the track Zombies, for which they also made a video...

If you have a good memory (or an impeccable taste in music) you may recognise the name Folé. Well Folé is no more, but not to worry, it has evolved into a full band who go by the name Brave Young Red. The original member James Foley has joined forces...

So the guys from Be Like Pablo were kind enough to send out copies of their brand new debut album The New Adventures to bloggers and reviewers alike. With all the hype of the Olympics underway, I was looking forward to hearing this album even more than...

Gentlemen Duke formed 2 years ago this month (April, 2009) in the South Eastern county of Kent. They perform modern country-folk music, differing from most of today's music. They mix old and new mirroring the sounds of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and...
