[detourscotland]

Last summer, with the shocking loss of our friend and musical hero Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit, we felt helpless, yet compelled to try our best and raise some money in his honour. With the help of some incredible prize donations, we raised £1,500 in two days, which went towards a fund in his honour.

Scott's family have recently announced that this fund will become Tiny Changes, a charity dedicated to raising awareness, promoting initiatives, advancing understanding, and supporting the voices of children and young people's mental health.

We are proud to be raising money for such an incredible cause, and thankful to the local artists, businesses and organisations who have offered such generous prizes.

We will draw names on the night of The Hug and Pint's birthday on 14th June, and then we will deliver, including free postage, your prizes to wherever you are in the world.

Tickets are £5 and ON SALE NOW --> http://bit.ly/2HIIPyX

We will draw names on Friday night, and then we will deliver, including free postage, your prizes to wherever you are in the world.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous.

When we started our Soundcloud playlists, with our favourite Scottish tracks of the last month, we were chuffed that we were getting 10 or 12 tracks each time. The quality was great, and to have that amount of new music coming out each month from this wee country is amazing.

This month, we have 31 tracks. 31! That's one track a day. One track of brilliant Scottish music, released every bloody day for a whole month.

There's scuzzy garage punk, haunting folk, scathing political hip-hop, dreamy shoe-gaze, massive indie-pop anthems, and some of the best electronic music in the world from some of the most forward thinking producers out there.

If you don't find something new to love here, then you've gone wrong m8.
