The Snuts - Seasons
Having started off the year with a series of sell out shows and festival slots both home and away on the near horizon there really is no stopping this West Lothian four-piece. With Seasons as their first proper single release it sets listeners old and new up perfectly with a taste of what their live set brings, a compelling guitar lead which is driven by raw vocal stylings.

Megan Airlie - Honey

Lilura - Feel Love
Having already hit a wave of success as an acoustic act over the years, Jemma Tweedie has shattered the conformity of her Highland upbringing to spawn a glittering electro-pop alias with new single Feel Love proving that. 

The Lafontaines - Up
Following the release of their second album towards the end of last year, new single Up shows a brighter side to the four-piece. While still packing a punch both instrumentally and lyrically all of the components synonymous with The Fonts statement sound remain but are amped with more electro stylings, marking a clear evolution in their sound.
