The Last Battle - Hope Is Gold →
Well, what a day today has been. The Olympic torch successfully passed through Glasgow without someone trying to steal in an attempt to sell it at the Barras.

Friday Sesh!
This is without a doubt one of my favourite fridays in a long time and heres why. 1 - the weathers still bitching. 2 - the Eurovision is on which is my absolute guiltiest pleasure. 3 - this time in 7 days I’ll be heading to the Oran Mor in Glasgow for the Westend Fest and the student-run Electric Honey Showcase.
To be more specific I’m going to see the awesome Woodenbox and the...

Seriously, there is a tonne of really great music bloggs out there at the moment (shout out to Song By Toad, 17 Seconds, Ayetunes and Ten Tracks who are some of our favourites), and yes we are relatively new to the blog-o-sphere, but we like to think...
WTF is a Music Blog?!
What The French is a music blog?! Interesting name for a blog ‘aint it? Sarcasm is our favourite form of whit so get used to it!
Anyways, Sound of Scotland is a promotions company. Basically, we spend our time finding and listening to kick-ass music from all over the country, and then tell you lads and ladies all about it (unless its shit then we don’t bother). Point is, if you...
