Selects is our brand new monthly spotlight on ten emerging artists making serious noise under the surface.
Five are sent to our inbox—direct from the artists or their team. The other five? We’ve dug for them ourselves. Because great music deserves to be found, not just fed to us.
This isn’t a shout into the void—it’s a carefully curated signal boost. A way of saying: “We see you. Others should too.”
At Bonnie Scotland Presents, we believe music has the power to inspire and unite us all. And, that belief is the heartbeat behind everything we do. Radar isn’t just about plays or stats. It’s about giving space to voices that deserve to be heard and helping listeners fall in love with something new, real, and full of possibility.
I know not everyone uses spotify so beside each track you will find a link that will take you to the song and every platform it is available on. Don’t miss out, get adding these tracks to your playlists!

From the inbox...
Chin Up – Thats’s A Paddlin’ Listen here
Vibe: Punchy & energetic
From the band: The song tells the tale of a calamitous journey to download festival but more importantly recognises that the mistakes and set backs we face in our youth help shape us into the people we become in adulthood and that choosing to grow and learn from them might make you a better person.
Bonnie Says: Fun opening riff. Cool middle 8 with smart bass break. This would hit well live! Pop punk is alive and well!
Trenches – Colour Of Your Thoughts Listen here
Vibe: Fierce & nostalgic
From the band: Colour of Your Thoughts captures a moment on a Danish beach at sunset— smoking cigarettes with old comrades, contemplating those who are no longer with us.
Bonnie says: Unique voice that captures your attention. Almost eary guitar tones that match the context of the song. Good to hear rock, in a pure form.
Jack Torrance – Something Changed Listen here
Vibe: Summer indie vibe
From the artist:
There’s a smoky weight to Something Changed, with haunting lyricism and raw emotion layered over understated instrumentation. A thoughtful slow-burner with lasting impact.
Bonnie says: Indie summer road trip track, sorted! Easy listening, song that instantly gets your head bopping. Feel as though its as if Razorlight met a young Sam Fender…
Fences\\\\– Any Last Words? Listen here
Vibe: Dark & anthemic
From the band: Suggesting through its lyrics and artwork the story of a prisoner nearing execution, the track nonetheless leaves room for multiple interpretations, offering listeners the opportunity to envision a much brighter ending.
Bonnie says: Bold intro that streams early Biffy Clyro! Cleverly placed instrumental build up throughout the track. The string section builds in speed as if the ‘end’ is nearing. Anthemic sing along chorus.
Jamie Coleman – Down by the Shore Listen here
Vibe: Warm & calming
From the artist Combining folk, blues and indie sounds, with atmospheric
vibes. Jamie embarks on a story about the love of life and nature.
Bonnie says: Lyrically beautiful with stunning guitar parts throughout. The track changing in feel half way through is a great twist.
Fresh finds…
Federation of the Disco Pimp – Is Daddy OK? Listen here
Vibe: Funky & fresh
If you like siiick horn section lines and the funkiest of bass riffs then FOTDP is for you. This track is filled to the brim with genious catchy hooks – from bass, guitar, horns and vocals!
Marvell – Got Your Back Listen here
Vibe: Uplifting & heartfelt
Australian Indie rock with real heart. A song you instantly listen to and know you can send it on to someone of importance as the lyrics hit you in the feels. I really loved that the bass line was more prominent in the track than the guitar.
MCVEIGH – The Thief Of Leaving Listen here
Vibe: Cinematic & cathartic
MCVEIGH know how to balance vulnerability with musical depth. Irish singer songwriter I discovered through TIKTOK (it obviously has some uses). This is indie with real soul and groove. Mcveigh has some vocal range, so much to love about this track.
Dylan Flynn and the Dead Poets – The Story After They Are Gone Listen here
Vibe: Reflective & atmospheric
The Story After They Are Gone is rich with texture, carried by echoing guitars and deep lyrics. The chorus hits and the speed of the track shifts, the saxophone then hits and brings a sprinkle of creative magic.
The Solaas – Evergreen Listen here
Vibe: Lush & expansive
A song opening with vocal chorus is bold, The Solaas make a statement with this track. Evergreen makes you want to dance and sway. It’s fun and musically flows well between parts in the song.
