The Short Waves This weeks freebies might be a bit short of bands that you might have heard of, that's not to say that the quality has dipped, far from it in fact. The Short Waves would be a good example of something that you've not heard of, but it's definitely worthy of your attention.

Put these influences together and you get soaring passion and raw emotion anchored by some down-to-earth Glasgow grit. The songs from their self-titled debut EP are a confident mix of Sun era rockabilly, a dash of blues, and some full on indie rock. Check out lead track and live [...]
