The deep purple ribbon is as brightly coloured today as it was when it was carefully threaded through the delicate lattice pattern snipped into a notebook page more than a century ago. Taking care to keep it spotlessly clean, Private George Beveridge of A Company, 2nd Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, sat down in the battle-scarred fields of France to write to his beloved Gertie. It was July 2, 1916 – the second day of the Battle of the Somme – and he had already served two years away from his sweetheart. “Accept my best love and heaps of kisses,” he wrote, attaching a charming little sweetheart broch in the form of a regimental kilt and sporran to his letter, and signing off with 24 tiny kisses. “I am your ever fond sweetheart.”

RATING: 7.5/10
PORTRAYAL OF GUILT doesn t like to waste time. Since their 2017 inception, the prolific Austin, Texas-based musicians have doled out several splits and EPs, in addition to a well-received full-length album, Let Pain Be Your Guide . The ball has certainly bounced in the band s favor in a short amount of time as they ve toured extensively throughout the US and Europe, as well. The need for a breather will be inevitable at some point, but the eclectic band is still holding its breath and swimming onward, as the time has arrived for
PORTRAYAL OF GUILT s sophomore effort: We Are Always Alone . Surprisingly the band has upped the ante in terms of what they re capable of creating.
