Scottish Fiction - 23rd July 2015 by Scottish Fiction on Mixcloud

That's My Jam #62 - ULTRAS - The Path To Getting Paid

Fronted by ex-Over The Wall frontman Gav Prentice, ULTRAS came onto the scene late last year with This Is Where I Fall.  Since then there's been relative radio silence, which generally in my experience is a good thing as it means the band are taking their time to craft their next set of tracks.

And from listening to new track The Path To Getting Paid  we can hear the results of that crafting.  Marching drums create an inviting intro, with bouncy guitars quickly filling the air, before Prentice's warm and authoritative vocals begin his political tinged tirade.

The track moves away from the electronic fun that was This Is Where I Fall  but is a thrilling listen; challenging and fun in equal measures.  "Cause what's fir ye, won't go by ye" assures Prentice with a typically brogue delivery.  Keep churning out tracks like this and what's for ULTRAS certainly won't pass by.

Scottish Fiction Podcast - 11th January 2015

2014 had so much incredible music that we can't quite cut the apron strings just yet, which is why on this first new Scottish Fiction show of 2015, we've plumped for playing a whole heap of our favourite tracks from last year.  A little late perhaps, but don't think of this as a definitive list (as I could easily fill another two hour show with great songs from last year) but as a selection of some of the music that floated our audible boat in 2014.  Tunes from Campfires In Winter, Prehistoric Friends, Monogram, Tuff Love, ULTRAS, Hector Bizerk and much much more are all nestled in this episode.

Conquering Animal Sound - The Next Day
Monogram - Romance
Foreignfox - Yoghurt

Scottish Fiction Podcast - 1st December 2014

Having live music on the show is one of my favourite aspects of doing Scottish Fiction, and it was an absolutely delight to finally be able to bring in electro trio Machines In Heaven for a chat and some live tracks.  In what may be our most intricate session to date, the band played tracks from their brand new EP Hindu Milk  as well as elaborating on their approach to writing and recording. 

As well as that, the show is packed to the gunnels with new music from the likes of Hector Bizerk, Ultras, Deathcats and Mogwai, not to mention a brilliant Frank Ocean cover from IndianRedLopez, a 'Classic Track' from the '80's, and much much more.
