Scottish Fiction Podcast - 7th December 2014

As I mention during the course of the show, ever since Adam Ross, lead singer of Randolph's Leap, last appeared on the Scottish Fiction radio show, I've been itching to get him back for another Scottish Fiction session.  Who says dreams don't come true!  Adam joined me for three tracks off Randolph's Leap's album Clumsy Knot, as well as chatting about the band's plans for 2015.

Scottish Fiction - 7th December 2014 by Scottish Fiction on Mixcloud

Single Review - Beard Of Truth - Bad Kids

Beard of Truth is an offshoot of Edinburgh band The Last Battle, allowing lead singer Scott Longmuir to air his solo stuff, and the debut single Bad Kids  is simply beautiful.  This is the first single from forthcoming EP A New Light  although promises of an album on it's way have also been made.

The stripped back sound with only a guitar and quiet drums suits Longmuir’s vocals perfectly and allow the story of the song to take centre stage.  The track is coloured with nostalgia; harking back to the days where the band could be ‘Bad Kids once again’.  The recording setting may have influenced this theme as some of the EP was recorded in Longmuir’s childhood bedroom.

This may only be a side project to The Last Battle however if this single is a sign of things to come from Beard of Truth then the project will definitely be able to shine in its own right.
