Q&A: Cowboy Hunters

Apr 2, 2025

“One time someone told us that we reminded them of when Lady Gaga and Beyonce collaborated and we've been living off that high ever since. ”

Q&A: Kirsteen Harvey

Mar 27, 2025

“Oh it’s absolutely amazing! I can’t believe it to be honest! I always find putting on headline shows a little scary, and I get quite nervous on the run up- but the response for the shows, and in particular the Glasgow date has been totally mind blowing! I think it’s going to be pretty special seeing so many people in the one room, who are there to see myself and my wonderful band, play tunes that I just wrote at home!”

Q&A: racecar

Mar 12, 2025

“By the time we came to write and record Pink Car, we were very fortunate to have raised enough money through a successful Crowdfunder campaign (thanks everyone!) to make some of the musical dreams we had for our songs come true. Graham, Lissa, Claire and Kenny (not to mention Aaron Morrison/ Catriona Price/ Gracie Brill!) are all fantastic musicians. It is always a joy to collaborate, most of all when people’s blend of skill and creativity means both realising an original vision and new, exciting elements appearing during sessions".”

Q&A: PG Ciarletta

Mar 5, 2025

“For me there is a lot of hard work ahead, but a lot of things to be buzzing about. I would just say taking the music to the people and playing as many places as possible across Scotland and beyond. I just want to go and do what I am meant to do, which is release music, play shows, make content, be nice to folk and work hard.“

Q&A: Katie Nicoll

Feb 26, 2025

“My emotions over my Poetry Club gig didn’t fully hit me until Sunday afternoon whilst watching back videos on Instagram. IT WAS AMAZING! The realisation that I’d packed out a room two hours away from where I grew up filled me with a new sense of pride over my music. I feel proud & soooo beyond grateful of the people that made time to come down and support, grateful of the boys in my band, and grateful of all my family and friends.”

Q&A: Calum Baird

Feb 19, 2025

“Playing at the Biennial was superb. The energy and buzz in the city was infectious and the support from the audiences and fellow musicians at my shows, even though we didn’t always share a language, was so important and helped me feel right at home. “

Scottish Artists To Watch In 2025

Jan 31, 2025

New year, new bands, new obsessions. Scotland’s music scene is a constantly morphing beast, spitting out fresh talent, combing boundary-defying genres, with the raw energy that keeps the Scottish music scene constantly evolving. Whether you’re into massive indie anthems, left-field electronic experiments, or something that defies categorisation entirely, 2025 is shaping up to be another huge year for grassroots Scottish Music.

Q&A: Pedalo

Dec 13, 2024

“I was hyper aware that this was going to be a song that literally anyone can hear, forever, which was honestly a bit scary when it’s such a personal topic. But then the reaction to it has been really touching—I’ve had a fair few people say to me how much they relate to Lighter. Now I’d say it’s the song that I’m the most proud of”

Q&A: Former Champ

Nov 14, 2024

“Sometimes stuff just feels right, sounds right. But the mission statement for this band in a writing sense was definitely like Paul Westerberg and all the pathos in the Replacements tunes. These are pop songs first and foremost—they are never going to be perfect short stories like Raymond Carver or whatever—but they do start from that place.”

Q&A: Odd Luke

Nov 14, 2024

“I think it hit me one day a long time ago that I was the only person who hadn’t heard my own voice, you know? It’s one thing to back other people and hide behind that, but I had all these weird little stories building up that just needed out, if nothing else just for me!”

Q&A: Thundermoon

Oct 30, 2024

“It’s epic! We’re so grateful for the support. We’ve worked hard from the roots up, and every bit of recognition feels like a big achievement. Working with a local, musician-run project like New Teeth has helped us stay true to our values. Growing from here feels like a huge positive, especially knowing that these platforms resonate with our music.”

Q&A: Nü Cros

Oct 23, 2024

" This year’s been an amazing year in terms of the shows we’ve been blessed to play, that includes Supersonic in Paris which was a fairytale in its own right. We’ve come a huge way as a band through it all."

Q&A: Kryptik

Oct 16, 2024

"Vocalising my experiences and getting things off my chest has kept me sane. Once it’s on paper or recorded on a track, it’s no longer this inescapable noise in my head, going round in circles and frying my brain. Writing allows me to think clearly and get a bit of perspective on situations."

Q&A: Gurry Wurry

Oct 9, 2024

"Nobody’s happy or sad all the time – there are so many uncertain, grey areas. I feel like there’s a lot of weirdness to be found in the world, so I try and pack as much of it as I can into my three minutes.”

Q&A: Kate Young

Oct 6, 2024

"I was lucky to have the time to fully immerse on composing for about five months, and being in that environment was the perfect setting for inspiration and also focus on the work. The process of composing can be fickle and taking break for walks, chatting to friends and observing dreams are just as important as putting pen to paper in the process."

Q&A: Majesty Palm

Sep 23, 2024

"The Scottish music scene has been so important to our growth as a band, we've always felt really welcomed and supported and it's allowed us to gain more confidence and opportunities that we are so grateful for. "

Q&A: M4CHA

Sep 22, 2024

"The 90s house scene was so special, a huge part of UK culture, and we’re inspired by it. With today’s technology, it’s easy to combine fresh sounds while keeping the heart of the track rooted in that era."

Q&A: The Kaves

Sep 12, 2024

"It’s great to receive any recognition for our music, especially from someone like John Kennedy, who’s helped so many artists get a leg up by giving them exposure. Hopefully, some London and Manchester listeners heard the show and decide to head along to our gigs down there."

Q&A: The Too Late

Sep 9, 2024

“It was a dream come true for us. We only started gigging as a band last year and to say we’ve ticked off King Tut’s is unbelievable and were so grateful for the opportunity. One for the bucket list for sure!!"

Q&A: Annie & The Jays

Aug 30, 2024

“It means the process isn’t without its petty tantrums… but no, in all seriousness, George has always been my biggest cheerleader and the first person I show my songs to anyway, so he understands my writing in such an intuitive way... he does know all the back stories and lore from the songs too though, so I have to be nice to him!”
