What began as a Twitter feed dedicated to 90s music has now become a foray into the future. Marc Rossiter’s superb Brits & Pieces Twitter feed got the itch so bad that, he decided to bring together a compilation of great new bands like ‘Shine’ editions in the 90s.
This week, we’ll be exploring our favourite tracks from the 18 track compilation. It’s released Friday 11th December and will be available at Rough Trade.
Run and Hide
Hailing from Dumfries, ‘Run and Hide’ was The Lutra’s debut single way back in 2018.
Wait, what? Debut single? It’s academy venue size but dreaming of Stadiums. It taps into Razorlight’s debut album, lifting all those great ragged pop moments and splices them with the effortlessness of Mersey beat.
The guitar parts, especially the solo, serve as a stark reminder why we must save pubs and small gig venues is the sound of red stripes being held aloft with your best mate in the other arm. Dripped in sweat, you look, you laugh and you know that this is forever.
