When I first came across them, I thought that their name was pronounced "scotcha" - as in Scoccia - rather than Scotia as in Alba Nuadh: a bit disappointed to find I was wrong. But their sound is good.

And I'm glad to see that a band from Hawick wears the kilt, so the town can display to best effect the cloth that it weaves.

Some good bands coming out of Scotland (or Scoccia) these days - and some imaginative sounds, too.
