From Seattle to SXSW: Frightened Rabbit vs America

In Depth by Sean Adams

Earlier this year, DiS' favourite anthemic Scottish indie-rock band Frightened Rabbit released their fourth album Pedestrian Verse. Rather than sending the band some inane questions, we thought it would be far more interesting to ask that rather eloquent so-and-so Scott Hutchison to keep a diary for us, documenting their adventures in the US of A. We also borrowed some of their Instagrammed shots from the road... »

DIS does Eurosonic: Nooderslag Tips + Finnish playlist

In Depth by Marc Burrows

There’s a Finnish focus to this years Eurosonic Noorderslag event, which kicks off today in a far flung corner of the Netherlands. The festival, which is a bit like SXSW if you substitute the Texas sunshine for Holland in January, acts as a superb annual showcase and cross pollination of some of Europes best and most hyped new acts, attracting industry bods from across the continent. John Peel was a regular attendee, and that’s as glowing an endorsement for a focus on new music as you could find.»

Spotifriday #92: Nick Cave, Death Cab, Suede, Tom Vek, The Rapture

In Depth by Sean Adams

It's f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-fuh-Friday! Here's our Spotify playlist running down the week that was, well, it was somewhat won by re-issues and threads about pop-punk. Who says we need to be cutting edge all-day everyday? Not Napster co-founder Sean Parker, that's for sure. In fact, I'm a bit a neophobe, and sick of the constant churnover of new bands. But if you want to hear me bang on like the boringest guy in the pub, just follow me on twitter @seaninsound. »

Frightened Rabbit's track-by-track guide to Sing The Greys by Scott Hutchison

In Depth by Sean Adams

Tonight, in Edinburgh, DiS-favourites Frightened Rabbit are playing a special show, as their original 3 piece line up, playing their debut album Sing The Greys. The album was originally released as a limited edition run of 1000 copies, on this day back in May 2006 (yes, that is five years ago) before getting revamped, re-mixed, re-mastered and re-released on Fat Cat. Seeing as it's fresh in his mind ahead of tonight's show, we asked singer and writer of the songs, Scott Hutchison to walk and talk us through the album, track-by-track... »

Drowned in Sunday: Papers? Pianos? Lover's Spit?

In Depth by Sean Adams

Sunday has various songs written about it and dedicated to it but almost all of them are downbeat dreamy affairs. Strangely Sunday has nowhere near as many songs written about it as Saturday but maybe that's because those who've already written songs about Sunday have pretty much nailed it? Most of this playlist touches on things you might do on a Sunday but it's mostly songs that give me the Sunday feeling. »

Rockness Festival - The DiS review

In Depth by Neil Ashman

I've been hearing people talking up Rockness as better than T In The Park. One cursory look at the line-ups for both festivals will tell you this isn't true, at least in the quantity and sheer size of artists playing, but what Rockness can boast is an atmosphere to match TITP in scaled down format, with a greater emphasis on DJs and dance acts. The organiser's boast that it is 'the most beautiful festival in the world' is entirely vindicated by the picture postcard view of Loch Ness and the lush glen spreading out behind the main stage, with the weather mostly brilliant sunshine.»
