Three Exceptional Scotches
(17 March 2009) - We're not Irish enough to know if it's total sacrilege to drink scotch for St. Patrick's day festivities, but we've had the good fortune of being awash in the stuff recently here at CH HQ. Scotch has been gaining a wider audience these days among a younger crowds as more and more are learning to appreciate the subtle complexities that differentiate one brand from another....

Altered States of Paint
(24 July 2008) - A new exhibition opened this month at one of Scotland's most avant-garde galleries, Dundee Contemporary Arts. Altered States of Paint takes its name from the Ken Russell film "Altered States," in which the lead character goes through sensory experiments in an attempt to find the meaning of life. The curator of the show, Graham Domke, was also inspired by Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of...

Harrisons
(04 March 2008) - A crackling assault of guitars and drums, lyrics that bristle with indignation. Sheffield's Harrisons are for our era what The Clash were for theirs: a voice of rebellion, masked in four minute pop gems. We spoke recently to drummer Mark White. Aside from Harrisons and Joe Cocker, what else should we know about the creative scene in Sheffield? The best band from Sheffield by...

Glasvegas
(23 January 2008) - It's rare for a band to have the ability to pen mature, potentially massive, songs yet still retain a sense of locality and modesty in their music. The thick Scottish accent rolling unimpeded out of Glasvegas frontman, James Allan, is proudly grounded in the pubs and bars of his native Glasgow. This quality slices through the reverb-laden, atmospheric background of their songs, lending an...

An accomplished illustrator, he's contributed periodicals like Rant and Bearded Magazineamong others. If you're passing through Stockholm before Sunday, he's also one of the featured creative minds being featured at an exhibition being held inside a former downtown cinema that's been converted into an Urban...

David Shrigley: Worried Noodles

Kshocolât
(26 July 2006) - We discovered Glasgow-based Kshocolât in London and have been grooving on it since. From the distinctive and original flavors—Milk chocolate with Honeycomb and Vanilla and White Chocolate with Pepper and Lemon are not to be missed (even if you don't usually eat either)—to their well-designed packaging, these Scots have created a unique line of treats. Check out Kshocolât's stores in Glasgow and Edinburgh, or...
