Video: "Trauma" by Tommy Concrete

A hardened stalwart of the UK's metal and punk scenes, Edinburgh multi-instrumentalist Tommy Concrete seeks to promote recovery and positive mental attitude through his latest EP, Trauma.  

Released in May 2019, the three-track offering explores mental health, addiction, and altered states through an unconventional blend of heavy subgenres akin to Devin Townsend and Killing Joke.  

Concrete, who has been a member of The Exploited, Man of the Hour, and many more, looks forward to following up Trauma with the full-length Unrelaxed 2 in early 2020.

Bookin' It with Tommy Concrete

How many times have you thought about music from Scotland?

Well, being a pretend Scotsman, i.e. my family goes back to the Highlands, it's really  not all that often.

Perhaps it's times to think about my ancestral homeland a bit more often. In that method, let's talk about Edinburgh's own, Tommy Concrete. 

In October he released his latest record, Unrelaxed, and you can preview or puchase that on digital or CD via BANDCAMP.

So, let's get down to business and talk to him about books.

1. I try to read at least two books per month, and mostly fail, what's your goal and reality?

Two a year is my goal, but to be honest I struggle to manage one. Reading is very important to me, but it is also very difficult. I have limited visual imagination, in the sense that I don't 'see' anything in my mind when I read.
