關於我： I currently live and work in Edinburgh,for my mundane 9-5 job I work in a bank,I also spend far too much money on cd's and going to gigs(much more than I can afford!) I also write reviews for a well known independent music magazine/website(well,it is well known in Central Indie Scotland)
I present a show on LEITH FM 98.8,The Sunday Service at 4pm on,funnily enough, a Sunday!
You can also listen live on t'internet at www.leithfm.co.uk
On the show I play mostly Scottish stuff new and old so I would love to hear from Edinburgh bands and artists as it's high time there was a backlash,not that I'm anti-Glasgow(far from it!)but it would be great to unearth some gems from the capital for a change.
So on that note,please could anyone that has anything to send in the form of demos,albums,singles etc send them to the following address marked for the attention of
The Sunday Service. I promise I will listen to them all but bear in mind the type of music I play on the show(see blog)I'm not fussed about fancy packaging or covers,a simple CD-R will suffice,as long as I can hear you.

我想認識： People who like music,go to gigs and want to promote the Scottish music scene in a positive manner as opposed to the gloom mongering naysayers!Also anyone that I know in the real world who joins the ever growing population of Myspace!! And anyone who agrees with the opinions of the late prophet William Melvin Hicks(Who's he?? Look him up if you haven't heard of him,he was a visionary)Steve Coogan(check!!!)Morrissey,Martin O'Neill(to thank him for 5 glorious years at Glasgow Celtic)Gillian Anderson(well it was a schoolboy crush!)Prince,Mr T,The Band!
Henrik Larsson(to thank him for the 7 glorious years at Glasgow Celtic)
A
4 track EP, titled Call Signs, it provides the perfect introduction to
the band prior to the release of their debut album, Grappling Hooks, in
early 2010.
I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
North Atlantic Oscillation's "Hollywood Has Ended", from the forthcoming album Grappling Hooks, is featured in this month's Police Box compilation from TenTracks. It's here:
In case you haven't heard, TenTracks is a new music delivery service where you can buy exclusive 10-track compilations for £1, i.e. a mere 10p per track.
This month NAO are in the illustrious company of the excellent Found, Orkestra Del Sol, Fence Collective luminaries James Yorkston and King Creosote and exactly 5 others. Once again, that's £1 for ALL TEN TRACKS. Not bad, really.
hey John, that's awesome you heard us on the radio. The man you're talking about it James, and he is our new best friend from across the pond. hope to see you there soon!
