"A dreamy, hazy off-kilter take on indie rock, It ushers you into their reverb laden
woozy world" - BBC's Vic Galloway on 'Calypso Kool'

Ironically named due to Scotland's often gloomy weather and their desire for warmer climates and surfier times,  The Tropicanas represent  West Lothian with their off kilter brand of chilled grooves!

The instrument swappin' Tropicanas are:  Andrew Burns(Guitar/Vocals) Ruaridh MacPherson (Drums/Guitar/Vocals) Joe Murty (Bass/Vocals) Joe White (Guitar/Drums) and Ryan MacPherson (Synth), and they have a big year planned with a string
of newly recorded tracks ready to be drip-fed out over the course of the year and a host of gigs booked across Scotland!

Extremely hands-on; writing, recording and releasing music independently, as well as creating their own artworks and videos, The Tropicanas combine inspirations from modern bedroom recorders, such as Mac DeMarco, Stevie R. Moore and Tame Impala, With Bossa Nova legends such as Jorge Ben Jor and João Gilberto: creating a
unique Lo- Fi sound.

'The Trops' have been blessed to share the stage with acts such as Neon Waltz and Peach Pit, as well as playing the Pyramid Stage at the amazing Kelburn festival.

Your Arrow - The Tropicanas

i’ll go running when the wind shifts
i have a fear of gerri g seasick 
sneak out of the house 
my dad works the night shift 
with not a dollar to spend 
you gave me your hand 
said “i’ve got time to lend you” 
i took it and walked four steps ahead of you 
believe that it’s true, you’re eight steps ahead of me 
we talked to the moon, but she wouldn’t talk back 
(when you pointed out how 
i’d love to the moon and never make it back) 
i jokingly pegged you 
only let down your guard when you absolutley need to 
you wouldn’t fight me 
when i declared
how i don’t understand 
how anyone could ever leave you 
do you know the movie, 
carried by the firefly on its back 
used to let me feel you 
but now you don’t do that 
your mom always loved bowie 
wouldn’t believe it when cohen died
she cared for music, as do you 
i fall on hard times, but you can’t feel the ground beneath you 
already asleep 
at three am 
you still let me wake you up 
with a nursery rhyme

Too Loud (Prod. Bloom x Dutchrevs)

It’s funny how Irish people feel at home here
Until they don’t and need to move back home
This city can be so cold

But the lights never shined so bright
From across the sea at night
And I’ve never been so sure
Of anything else in my whole life


You keep on pulling my heartstrings, darling
You never know just what you want
But I know this is what you need
(I think it’s time we faced the facts)


Notions of something greater 
Come, be my saviour 
To carry out this simple task at hand

“BLOOD MOUNTAINS”

relapsing again (Prod.cursedstorm)

Green shoots have burst forth from Parsnip! The Australian group have a super-catchy single out today called ‘Turn to Love’, taken from their sophisticated sophomore album ‘Behold’. Drawing comparisons with Dolly Mixture, Sara Goes Pop and Look Blue Go Purple, Parsnip are an animated ensemble, full of life, emotional complexity and humour. On ‘Behold’ they explore both the inner and outer realms of consciousness with quick wits and some seriously quality jangle and jolt. 

Upset The Rhythm and Anti Fade Records will release ‘Behold’ on April 26th. There’s a limited transparent vinyl edition, available to pre-order (drum roll please)… now: upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/

LYRICS - 

I wish I was lying 
when 
I said that I 
was paralysed 
by you 
and now I try 
to recognise 
myself 
but I can’t seem to 
get a grip on health 
and so I 
cry grey coloured tears 
for you 
you know they crash and burn 
in random hues 
I never 
tried so hard 
now I could fall 
back into 
everything that makes you crawl 
my darling

sick and so dependent 
I’m counting up like a scentence 
I’m hopeless and so defenceless 
I’m fading out by the second 
I’m rushing from all this substance 
I’m fucked up 
I’m fucking nothing 
lil kitty cat in the rubbish 
my whole life I’m getting punished 
for shit that I never started 
I’m ripping my heart dont want it 
don’t give it back 
give me something 
so I can begin the cutting 
I’m greying out like a phantom 
keep saying it’s fuckin random 
I’m praying I’m gonna tell em 
keep saying it’s fucking random fuck
