Starting life at the beginning of 2015, Mt. Doubt is the project of Edinburgh-based musician Leo Bargery.  As a one man project, he released his debut album 'My Past Is A Quiet Beast' last year, which received radio airplay on Amazing Radio, Xfm, KEXP, and BBC Radio Scotland.  The album saw him gain praise from The Herald, The National, and be tipped as one of Vic Galloway's '25 Scottish Artists to Watch in 2016'. 

Time then some new material, and Mt. Doubt launches his 2016 with the release of brand new single 'Afterglow'.  Paired with b-side 'Hotel Key', the single will be released on 7” vinyl via Scottish Fiction (best known as Scottish music blog and radio show).

'Afterglow' once again pairs Bargery with producer Mark Morrow (The Winter Tradition), and combines sombre writing with full on quiet-loud-quiet dynamics, resulting in a track that displays a welcoming warmth yet remains slightly aloof.  The single is twinned with b-side 'Hotel Key', where Bargery's deep vocals come to the fore amidst a more stripped back set up, before building to a climatic encore.

The single will be launched with a special launch gig at Glasgow's Hug & Pint with support on the night coming from Earths, Hamish James Hawk, and Rising Pacific.  Tickets are on sale now for the advance price of £5 (+£1 sc) and you can also reserve your copy of 'Afterglow' on 7" vinyl by buying a ticket and vinyl bundle:

Fast Train

Music fan/lover/supporter - the list is a mix from hard core rock right through to the classics. The small town of Nelspruit boundaries have never held me down and when the bank allows me to travel I do so to the Cape. Marley is the name, its easy to remember and its my cue to head for another live event with some red wine.

No One's Arc, Jeremy Loops, aKING, Die Heuwels Fantasties, Black Market Riots, Albert Frost, Shotgun Tori, ShortStraw, Piet Botha, Gerald Clark, The Black Cat Bones, Prime Circle, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley... the list is quite long.

Members:
George van der Spuy (vocals) 
Louis Nel (drums)
Rian Zietsman (guitar)
Loedi van Renen ( bass)

BIO
“Taxi Violence have never been a band to play things by the book. In their formative days they won a national ‘battle of the bands’ contest – and promptly politely refused the prize of a record company contract because it didn't offer them creative and financial control. Also, while their local peers dressed in skinny jeans and electro-neon and sought to emulate the burgeoning ‘indie’ sound, the band followed their guitar-slinging muse by delving into the original life-blood of rock 'n roll's harder edges.” – Evan Milton

Taxi Violence have travelled a long and independent road to proving themselves as one of the best live acts in South Africa. Their sound can be described as blues-infused, retro rock with a pinch of sleaze and bourbon.

Since their inception, Taxi Violence have gone on to rock every significant venue and headline every major festival in South Africa, as well as taking their unique brand of rock and quality live shows abroad.
