Well guys, just back from my
holiday from the Pacific Islands, didn't really go to plan if am
honest, what was supposed to be a lovely relaxing holiday took a turn
for the worst after me and my friends and family went sky diving over
a tropical paradise and got kidnapped by pirates as soon as we
landed. Basically long story short I broke out and saved most my
friends and family and returned home to have Ubisoft make a family
friendly version of my adventure...
Also University is a waste
of time unless you want to learn about the fundamental differences of
Idealism and Realism and how Pragmatism kicks ass... overall I've
been a angry man recently and needed some music to chill out and what
best to soothe the soul that some acoustic singer/songwriter songs.
So here's a round up of some of the best Scottish stuff I could find!
Anna Sweeney – I was lucky
enough to be given a insight into Anna Sweeney's EP “Oh Gosh
Darnit” before its release and knew it was destined for big things
and looking into the bottom of my bottle of Tequila right now as it
were a crystal ball I was right. Hailing from Ayr she has been busy
travelling Scotland with her band and has been received with great
acclaim up and down the country! Did I forget to mention she's also
only 18? Sincere lyrics and upbeat rhythms is enough to take the edge
of anyone's shitty day.
Aaron Fyfe – So would you
believe this guy used to be my boss back when we were charity
Fundraisers's? Aaron Fyfe's debute EP “Closer to You” is a
beautiful collection of songs that vary in several different styles.
With a debut album due sometime in early 2013 there's not better time
to catch up on the awesome talent that is Aaron Fyfe. Last time I
talked to him he had somewhere in the line of 20 Gigs in March alone
so am sure there will be plenty of chances to catch him live!
He doesn't have SoundCloud so you can check out his Facebook here !

Mike Nisbet – Nominated
for the Scottish Alternative Music Awards back in 2012 Mike Nisbet's album
“Vagrant” is truly a phenomenal piece of work, inspired by his
life on the road when living between Glasgow and London and is enough
to take anyone away from the this otherwise shitty Rothschild ruled
world and the façade of governments (the activist in me). There's
been plenty of gigs around the country from this gent and continues
to tour this march where you will be able to catch him in both
Inverness and Glasgow as well as other cities and towns.
Amber Wilson – Currently the touring session vocalist for Bombay Bicycle Club her solo career has seen the last duel single release back in 2011 which consisted of the tracks “Raise the Alarm” and “An Affirmation”. The track "Raise the Alarm" in particular has got a excellent vibe about it and makes you wonder how this stuff doesn't get more credit!
Eugene Twist - Quoted straight from Vic Galloway, "Unbelievably accomplished and inspired, defiantly one of my tips for 2012". Eugene Twist has been building some serious momentum with his album "The Boy who had Everything" released back in 2012. It is a fantastic mix of Country, Blues, Rock, Latin, 1920's Roaring Twenties and Mexican Gunslinger in a shoot out.... If you think am being ridiculous then give him a listen and you'll see what I mean! With some new tracks on the way there no better time to catch up on the awesome piece of work that is "The Boy Who Had Everything".
Eugene doesn't have a Sound Cloud so you can find him on Facebook here
That's all for now folks! Look forward to A dose of Alternative #5 at a blog near you soon! x
