Cantank

Nerd cockrock from Scotland. All tracks are done by one patient guy (as i hear the drum programming can be a nightmare). This is the kinda of music you can listen to when getting ready to play Afterburner or Golden Axe as it sounds just right for that era. So get out your Master System or Amiga and whack on some classic games and grab the track below and live like it's 1993!

Summer Vacation

Just received a message from these guys asking if i would do a post for their second Demo, odd as i was going to ask them. But anyway Summer Vacation are great, poppy/post punk and would be right at home doing a house show i reckon. It's the kind of music you can put on at anytime of the day or year and be happy you did, truly infectious and amazingly catchy.

I have put up their 1st demo for download, but they have a second Demo you can buy off their Myspace. So if you like what you hear go and get a copy.
