2012 Music Challenge
Have decided to set myself a new year challenge (resolutions are just rubbish!) For at least the first three months of 2012 I am going to have no music on my iPod that is signed to a major label. Local bands and anyone who self releases only. Now, given how much I love all sorts of music and how excited I get when I discover a new band, or a band I already love release a new album, this could be difficult for me! At least I have a decent amount of local/unsigned acts albums already, with work by El Dog, Dave Hughes, Matt Stevens solo work and his band the Quick and the Dead, Jim Byrne, Chris TT, Dave Arcari, the Zips, Hordes of Unstoppable Skeletons…just off the top of my head. This is not enough to fill my iPod however! So time to discover some new, local and/or unsigned music. This is where I’d like some help. I would like some recommendations of what else to fill my iPod with. The local Glasgow music scene is very alive and well, as is the self release scene and I’d like bands to send me links to their bandcamp pages, myspace profiles, etc. Any takers?
