Hijack: Hijack 2
With the launch of Ten Tracks In Stereo's live assault on the city, the people who brought you the Halt Bar Hijack provide ten more examples of why Glasgow is a pretty great place to be.
Awesome Ball Of Flame
Triple School
[By agreement with Hijack 2, Ten Tracks is completing some track blurbs during a single listen to the track, without edit] Noise rock surf keeping it short and impatient like an overgrown shop-lifter. New young metal.
Ghosts
Monoganon
Melodic, quality songwriting. Vocal beauty, lyrical simplicity unachievable by many. One of two on this compilation with impressively heart-achey harmonica.

The Scuff Band
Hijack's second ten often restates the merits of simplicity, and none more than with this song: a thoughtful, frank & poignant duet evolves from the honest lyric, with a heartfelt lone harmonica reminding us of its welcome 'less is more' concern.
Perfume
Hidden Masters
Sixties start, Go-go garage guitars, urgent vocal harmonies divulging insightful meditation on 'Perfume'. [By agreement with Hijack 2, Ten Tracks is completing some of its track blurbs during a single listen to the track, without edit]
Ramble On
Sunken, Drunken and the Broken Boat
Extra-special acoustic guitar jangles and lyrics landing somewhere between Simon, Garfunkel and Lou Reed.
Math Rock
Super Adventure Club
Raucously unhinged ode to rock's new sub-genre, accompanied by intelligent energetic guitar cross-rhythms and spectacular instru-mental variations. Accesible and niche/style and substance in a oner's what we love about the Club.
Circles and Circles and
Fur Hood
Christmas Coca Cola tune intro. Quickly something raaaather special. Oh! Lax Lemon Jelly quote surprisingly apt there, as more produced beat kicks in. Nice melody/rhythm relation goes Mr Kite on acid for a while. Pretty, actually. Good entrances & exits.
Devil's Tongue
Fear The Fives
[By agreement with Hijack 2, Ten Tracks is completing some track blurbs during a single listen to the track, without edit] Balkan show tune vampire pop so far. Energetic but wistful.
