Since their inception, The KillingFloors have been cranking out infectious 60's-style bangers that fit perfectly next to theunearthed 60’s Garage Rock and Psychedeliccompilations. The music leaves no stoneunturned, as the band switches from English toSpanish language and instrumental to lyricalsongs, showcasing the diversity that is foundnot only in their musical compositions, but alsoin their talents.

LOGAN´S CLOSE (Sco)

Pull up a beanbag and cut a rug. Logan's Close is coming to town. With their debut album, Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi, the Edinburgh based band, headed by Scott Rough and Carl Marah, are now showcasing the record’s shimmering collection of instant classics in the grooviest underground emporiums around. 

Originally comin’ straight outta Dunbar - arguably Scotland’s lesser known rock and roll capital - Rough and Marah formed Logan’s Close in order to fuse their love of Merseybeat, British invasion baroque bubblegum and laidback Los Angeles soft psych with a more Now sounding approach to songwriting. Having drafted in Stuart Neil on bass, Sean Morrison on keys, and Gavin Lamont on drums, the fruits of the dynamic duo’s union can be heard across a spate of singles released over the last eight years. 

This included a sold out spectacle at The Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh at the end of December 2023, launching "Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi", a ‘60s tinged collection that moves from basement bar bravura to tripped out Happening, without taking an entire decade to get there. 

"Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi" was recorded in Hamburg, once upon a time the red light district breeding ground for British beat groups’ sometimes dubious rites of passage, and now playing host to a new generation of young men who should know better. 

If the ‘90s were just the ‘60s turned upside down, Logan’s Close are the Century 21 sons and heirs to both.
