There is something about a Scottish brogue. It strikes viscerally and evokes emotion. Penguins Kill Polar Bears (hereafter, PKPB) is yet another "post rock" band from Scotland in the vein of Frightened Rabbit , We Were Promised Jetpacks , and Glasvegas . PKPB favors the former two, but can veer off into shoegaze territory as the latter is wont to do. Their new EP, Vessels and Veins , is splendid. The track, Between the Tides is the [...]
This Friday's mix is stripped down and strung together by some of the latest acoustic tracks out there from artists from all over. Your Vegas ' "It Makes My Heart Break" and some of their other unreleased music has us teeming for an upcoming album, while Nanna Øland Fabricius from Oh Land hypnotizes us once more with her edgy, yet soft, vocals. Metric 's Emily Haines scores big points with the glam-free "Gimme Sympathy", which really shows how acute her voice is even when synthesized beats cover her path. About a [...]

Having missed most of the first week of the Festival by being in Spain, I am now going to miss large parts of this week by pootling about in Anstruther at Haarfest (tickets can be found in the right hand column of this page ). Mrs. Toad will presumably hate me for this of course, as she has to stay behind in Edinburgh and do a proper job, whereas I can fuck off to Fife, get lashed, and call it work. Mwaaah hah haaa...! Given the fact that during the Festival the centre of Edinburgh [...]

We formed in April 2009 and since then we have been bringing our massive melodic sound to venues all over Scotland. How would you describe the music you make? A explosion of post and alternative rock music, fueled by angsty vocals, intricate guitar parts, massive bass [...]
Umm.. nada, absolutely nada this week. Not one single gig I would be likely to go to myself, which is a bit unusual. Still, I am going to Glastonbury for the first time, so this not entirely a bad thing from my perspective. As a good friend of mine pointed out: 'Giving up your job and then off to Glastonbury - it's like the end of your adulthood' . And he's not far wrong. Oh yes, giving up my job, did I mention that? Well yes, as of Wednesday I will be a full-time Toad. Or ToadPRO [...]
