This is part 1, Raymond and I have a ramble through the Scottish indie music scene, the song writing process and we listen to 2 tracks from the new Eisenhowers album.

Breaking all the rules a good podcast should adhere to, I've left it a terribly long time since the last 'cast. However, I'm excited to be back in tp mode, especially as I've got 3 exciting brand new tracks to bring to you. The album is Criminal Record, email me for details on acquiring a copy. Track list; The Scruffs - Othertime Kelsey Hunter - See That Abound - Unstoppable Theses guys are all in their teens, mostly high school students, but I think they show huge potential. And having witnessed them live, I can attest to them being tight performers! Coming up on the tartanpodcast; Raymond Weir - sit down interview with the man from Gum and The Eisenhowers Kenny Little - sit down interview with the man from Hollow Horse Both have new album to promote.
