I’m thrilled to announce we’ll be launching our brand new fanzine on Saturday. It features our lead interview with Acid House Kings who tell us all about my favourite album of the year Music Sounds Better With You. I catch up with John Blain Hunt from Butcher Boy about their forthcoming third LP. Our guest DJs on Saturday Help Stamp Out Loneliness give us a track-by-track guide to their eponymous debut album. Plus interviews with those Glasgow boys The Felt Tips and those rascals Horowitz.

Inside you’ll find a write up on Read and Shout by organiser Matthew Stead, Edinburgh’s best indiepop club night Unpop and as well as Librarians Wanted and Stolen Wine Social Club. If that wasn’t enough you’ll get all the latest release news from Pebble Records and KinGem and an epitaph of The Go-Betweens.

On the CD is Weekend Dreams a new compilation from Fortuna Pop! I never thought I’d be involved in putting out a CD featuring an exclusive song from Allo Darlin’ as well as Club 8, Herman Dune, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Darren Hayman and The Lucksmiths.
