First of all, thank you very much to everyone who voted in our wee poll over the last week. I wasn't sure how popular an idea it would be, but 230 votes says it all! The poll closed with Scottish singer/songwriter Lori McTear being the runaway winner with over 70 votes more than Nakota who finished second.
So anyway, Lori McTear enjoyed a great year in 2012, being chosen to support well loved acts like The View, Newton Faulkner, Ocean Colour Scene; playing at highly attended festivals such as The Big Stooshie and Troon Festival; and 2012 was also the year of Lori McTear's second single Freedom and Machine Guns. All that at on 18 years of age!
After playing her first show in Glasgow's George Square at the age of 15, Lori decided that playing music was exactly what she wanted to do- 3 years on and she hasn't looked back since. Her country/folk style of music has her drawing parallels to fellow country-women Amy McDonald and KT Tunstall and has proved popular with her many hundreds of fans. Lori is midway through her Scottish tour where she has so far played Inverness, Dundee, Glasgow, Perth and Aberdeen, with two Dunfermline gigs, one in Ayr and MV Festival in Aviemore all yet to come.
If you fancy it, go over to http://www.lorimctear.co.uk/#/music-shop/4564526083 where you can buy Lori's single in CD form for only £3.00. From that link, there are also links to Lori's Facebook, Twitter, ReverbNation and her YouTube account and all the dates from her tour.
Have a listen to this brilliant upcoming artist and try to make it along to one of her gigs before she makes it big...then you can say you supported her before everyone else did!

Vote for Your Favourite!!
Okay, so I'm going to try something different today. I'm not sure if this is done anywhere else (I'm sure it is) but here's how it will go: I'll put up songs from a few different submissions I have recently received and the bands with the most votes will get a full write up on the blog. It's a win-win really because you're band gets mentions anyway but full write ups always get more attention, so get your fans over to vote for you. To cast your vote, see the left side (that's <-- that way) and select the band you want to win.
First up, we have 80's Bad HairCut. Their song Cheese on Bread! is taken from their upcoming EP.
That's it for this edition and, if successful, I may try this again. So get voting for your favourite band/artist and share the page to help them get more votes!

The second artist is Nakota who is an unsigned Atlanta based musician, branding himself as inter-genre-pop which is completely true given the broad range of instruments used, with synth being at the forefront. Listen to his new single Territories.
Next up is Norwich based indie poppers Maglia Rosa Group. Their brand new single is call Nighthawks and features lead singer Daisy singing and dancing throughout.
Now onto Lori McTear, a Scottish singer/songwriter. After a successful year supporting the likes of Newton Faulkner and The View, Lori is looking to continue her success into 2013 with her single Freedom and Machine Guns.
