Scarlet Rocks: Gig News & Reviews

Bigging up the local Scottish music scene again with a new album from Glasgow band PAWS called Youth Culture Forever.  A line from the cartoon Adventure Time when Finn yells "Youth Culture Forever" after being told he was too young to know what he was doing (sidenote: I freaking love Adventure Time!).
