"Marina writes songs that feel like aether as she plucks airy tones with her guitar with added reverb sounding like she’s playing an ethereal harp. The melodies are soft and delicate while expressing some topics that are challenging and relatable." 📸✍️ @amyirenemarquez
Last week @marinayozora performed to an intimate crowd at Glasgow's @theoldhairdressers - check out the full review and gallery from the evening on our website now 🔗 ⚡
Somewhere tucked away in the deep dark depths of a Rutherglen industrial estate, @livthroughthisphotos found herself in amongst the dancers at a Northern Soul Day Disco ✊🏿✊🏼✊
"There are Northern Soul events on everyday all over the world. From Blackpool to Tenerife and Prague, the dancers I met in Rutherglen were telling me all about the countless adventures across Europe they have had together. Northern Soul has truly grown from its roots in the Wigan Casino to being a world wide phenomenon being shared in stadiums across the US."

"From tongue-in-cheek lyrics like that of Elizabeth Nichols and Sabrina Carpenter, to the merging of melodies reminiscent of Duffy’s ‘Mercy‘, and Chappell Roan’s ‘Good Luck, Babe‘, ‘Wet Rain‘ is a track full of powerful pop presence." ✍️ @m.g.hermiston

GIRLS TO THE FRONT ♀️⚡🎸
On Saturday night we headed along to Glasgow’s @theclassicgrand for the 3rd edition of our very own Northern Exposure Live.
A collaboration with @northernexposure_mag and Glasgow promoters @b12entertainment the Scottish showcase is curated to provide a platform for a handpicked selection of rising local talent – shining the torch on them on a more national scale.
After a successful debut in October 2025 and a pop-leaning follow-up in February, round 3 saw the limelight shift firmly to the women of the scene. With an all-female leading line-up, the message was clear: girls to the front.
Full round up of the night featuring performances from @itsaflame__@_the.high_priestess_@redvanillaband@officialbrielleband and a brief appearance from @saintsappho_ is on our site now 🔗☝️

If Gaelic was what people think it is; careful, traditional, something preserved in classrooms and ceilidhs, then a metalcore World Cup song in Gaelic wouldn’t exist. But @gunghaol made it anyway, because the language is theirs to use however they want.
Scotland hasn’t qualified for a World Cup in 28 years. Gun Ghaol, the only Gaelic metalcore band in the world, have written the first World Cup song in Gaelic. It’s wildly unofficial. 🏴🏴
