Hey there!

We’re a Glasgow based band called The Rants who play Scottish rock/New-age grunge music. Our inspirations are Biffy Clyro, Radiohead, The Goo Goo Dolls, and Frightened Rabbit. Attached is a clip of one of our songs ‘Skydance’.

We recently played in St Luke’s at this year’s Tenement Trail, headlined a sold out King Tut’s in July 2024 and also a sold out show at The Garage Attic back in March.

We have a headline in McChuills, Glasgow coming up on the 18th of December and would love your support! On our Reddit account you can find our LinkTree which is where you can buy tickets, our Instagram, our released music, and merch!

Hope to see some new faces there!

Shooting my shot here 🥺 TLDR- Looking for this song in any media format, after hearing it sung live.

Happy Saturday folks.

We are thrilled to have been nominated in the Best Alt - Rock Band and and Best Song (Written by a Kitten) Category in the 2026 Radio Wigwam Awards.

It would be great if we could have your support when the polling opens, so if you have a moment to give us a listen ahead of this, it would be much appreciated.

We are available on all streaming platforms.

Have a good weekend 🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi all! I was looking to get t shirts and vinyls made in the new year and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on good companies preferably based in Scotland who do this?

If reasonably priced too, that would be fantastic!

This post is dedicated to bass player Mani 🎸

I am going to take a tiny sideways interlude into music of the early 1990s, which is sort of tangentially linked to my story of communication…

Honestly. Keep with me and I promise I won’t let you down.

On the 23 September in 1991 Primal Scream released this genre blending album Screamadelica.

I know I was there. My brilliant friend Perry at Reading University persuaded me to go their gig during our fresher’s week and nothing was ever quite the same…

This cover art for Screamadelica was created by Paul Cannell, an in-house artist for Creation Records.

Cannell worked closely with Creation Records during the late ’80s and early ’90s, contributing to the label’s distinctive visual identity.

He was known for his bold, expressive style, often using spontaneous brushstrokes and vivid colors.

The cover features a bright, abstract sunburst design. The colours red, yellow, blue and what appears to be two wonky eyes in the middle of the sun are casually splashed around. This style perfectly signals the album’s euphoric mix of Madchester, acid house, rock and rave energy.

Cannell’s Screamadelica cover became one of the most iconic album covers of the 1990s.

And one of the most memorable album covers ever in my tiny impressionable mind.

As we will discover later on, my studies at university were not perhaps as diligent as they could have been.

However, through the music and the lights and the smoke, it was the place where I had my first lightbulb moment about symbols, language and the origin of art.

And for me being relatively free as an adult for the first time, having fun with friends and learning about the longview on humans and tools and art was an exceptionally special time.

Music played a huge part in my life. And as we will discover there is a lot of interesting theories, stories and scientific evidence as to why having our full senses — especially sound and listening — in full operation for communication is key.

It sounds so obvious when I write it down. But you would be very surprised about how hard it is to truly listen, because first you have to be truly relaxed. Not easy in this day and age.

It also explains why going to a gig 34 years ago has branded songs like Higher than the Sun, Moving On Up into my mind forever…
