Ballboy
Label: SLGenre: Pop, Rock
In honor (or honour) of the final Star Wars installment, the wonderful Scottish band Ballboy have posted a home-recorded power pop gem called "Light Saber" which closes each line with that walkie-talkie static that used to make it so fun to play stormtroopers ("there she is, set for stun...shhk"). When not giving in to good side of The Force, Ballboy's approach to songwriting can be summed up by the chorus to "The Art of Kissing": "A little despair will go a long, long way." And does it ever...

The Aphrodisiacs
Label: SLGenre: Electronic
Scotland's The Aphrodisiacs have a great story. They were friends just goofin' around who recorded one demo and mailed it the late John Peel. A week later he called them up and asked if he could play it on the radio. So without ever playing a gig and having recorded only one song, they were invited down to London to record a Peel Session. Listen to their dark grooves and see why John Peel picked up the phone.
