Hootananny

a lot of bands are compared to the likes of sonic youth, nirvana and dinosaur jr., but very few are capable of living up to the billing. enter pinact, whom has harnessed the spirit of glasgow's music scene incredibly. the trio comprised of corrie gillies (guitar/vocals), lewis reynolds (drummers) and jon arbuthnott (bass) combines experimental, turn-it-up-to-11 guitar sounds with outstanding melodic awareness. imagine if you will, lou barlow having the guitar sound of lee ranaldo. imagine if the vaselines listened to lightning bolt. an intensely chaotic sound that wraps sheer pop song writing in melvins-esque fuzz, a kiss and a punch.coquin migale are from newcastle. they consist of alex soper (guitar / vocals), stevie kane (bass) and josh holmes (drums) and are pronounced “co-kane mig-elle”. ?munro? is their debut album which mixes together coquin migale's fizzbombing releases thus far with some cracking newcy newbies, while also having the decency to include next single ?pt. 2?, released on august 5th.
