Baby Strange emerged from the fertile Glasgow underground in 2012, quickly becoming a cornerstone of the city's modern guitar scene. Comprised of brothers Connaire and Aidan McCann alongside frontman Johnny Madden, the trio established a sound that bridges the gap between classic garage rock revivalism and the darker, more rhythmic textures of post-punk.

C. and The Blinders. Their evolution from the raw, stripped-back punk of their debut 'Want It Need It' to the more expansive, synth-touched production of 2022's 'World's About To End' shows a band refining their aggression into a sophisticated, high-fidelity assault. They are widely regarded as a 'band's band,' maintaining a cult-like following through relentless touring and a steadfast commitment to the DIY ethos of the Scottish scene.
