Watch: By the Fire, by Blank Canvas
At the end of last week, T in the Park announced its line-up for the festival’s T Break stage. You can see the whole list of competition winners at www.tennents.co.uk/tbreak, but here’s a video by one of our favourites. If you’re a fan of Postcard records era Scottish pop, then you’ll love Edinburgh band Blank Canvas, whose debut single By The Fire bears more than a passing resemblance to Josef K and Orange Juice. This video is by Quintana Films, best known for the numerous short films they’ve made with another of the capital’s most promising bands, electropop trio Discopolis.
