Interview: The Sea Atlas
The Sea Atlas are a band we stumbled upon through the power of twitter. The Scottish group’s music has a rustic fervor to it that really makes its presence know through Calum Buchanan‘s voice and some beautiful banjo arrangements. We recently got in contact with the aforementioned Calum to ask a few things about The Sea Atlas’ music… Who are The Sea Atlas? Calum Buchanan: The Sea Atlas is myself and Ian Schouten, then...

We have been doing a lot of gigs in the last year but they have mainly been in Scotland. It’s been a wee while since we went south of the border and this would certainly be our longest stint together in a van/most dates... Read More
Interview: James Canty
Illustration: Mary Machin Earlier this week, we went over to Liverpool to check out James Canty‘s live show. Taking a stripped back approach to his music on the evening, James managed to pack a punch within a simple guitar/banjo, double bass ensemble regardless.
