Single Review - Be Like Pablo - Without The Pain (Feat. Kuda)

Supporting the recent release of their debut album The New Adventures, Forres geek-pop band Be Like Pablo deliver a single which is a little different but altogether very cool.  It's the slick and articulate vocal delivery of Aberdeen based rapper Kuda that gives this track its edge.  Crunching guitars and twinkling synths serve to give the song a signature Be Like Pablo sound but as Kuda brings in that refreshing hip hop twist, it becomes an instant album stand out track, definitely worthy of its own release.

Scottish Fiction Podcast - 8th August 2012

On this week's show we were joined in the studio by live guests 7of7.  As there were 6 of them, it got a bit crowded, but fun nonetheless!  The band played two live tracks, one of which was a special cover, and chose some tracks to play during the first hour of the show.  In between all that there was some chat about their music and more!  Sadly due to a recording mishap, the first 10 minutes of the show are missing.  Sorry 'bout that!  There's also bag loads of new Scottish music from the likes of Evil Hand, Father Sculptor and Be Like Pablo.  More good music than you can wildly shake a stick at!
