Wow, these lists get longer every year... sorry, but it just shows how much World-Class shizzle is out there from Scotland just now. More than ever! Try and check these guys over the next 12 months - there's a massive range of styles from Indie to Dubstep to Hardcore to Acoustic songwriters to Electronica and Hip-Hop.Also remember, 2010 will see new album releases by Frightened Rabbit, Codeine Velvet Club, Errors, Findo Gask and Super Adventure Club - all of which should be awesome!
