Comment:

(Note: Population count is accurate at time of writing!) My friend in Quebec recommended some groupes quebecoises that I should check out, and asked me to tell her about some Scottish bands...so this is what I came up with! OK, now I know I have missed out some good bands like Camera Obscura and Life Without Buildings, but I didn't just want to stick with contemporary indie/alternative; rather, I wanted to give her a selection of Scottish stuff. Plus I tried to go for a mix between Big Tunes and lesser-known stuff by certain bands (eg Idlewild - that one's more tailored to her taste anyway). I hope she enjoys it!
