Following a tense chart battle with Demi Lavato, The Snuts recently become the first Scottish band to achieve a UK Number 1 for 14 years with their debut album ‘W.L.’ -  selling over 20,000 sales. The album encapsulates the band’s journey from four working class kids growing up with a dream in Whitburn, West Lothian, to becoming one of the UK’s most exciting and vital bands of the new decade. 

A ferocious 2020 first saw the band land a top 15 album chart position with their debut Mixtape EP, a #1 spot on the UK vinyl chart, #1 in the Scottish album charts, an appearance and sync in a UK-wide multi million pound Strongbow ad campaign, FIFA21 soundtrack sync and over 30 million streams.
 
From their day jobs working in construction to grafting the toilet circuit, blood, sweat, tears and countless shows have been poured into their UK Number 1 selling album. Featuring their Radio 1 playlisted single and love song for the ages, ‘Somebody Loves You’, a fresh take on fan and live favourite ‘Glasgow’, the hip-hop driven ‘Elephants, the hauntingly heartfelt anthem ‘Always’ and main stage festival ready hymn, ‘All Your Friends’, the album has been entrancing critics all over. The Sunday Times labelled the record as “a sun soaked singalong”, the Daily Star stating that “W.L will blow you away”, and the Daily Record declaring the band “Kings of Scotland”.
 
Adored up and down the country for their uninhibited, sweat-drenched live shows, the band head out on a UK & Ireland tour in autumn  2021, including 3 sold-out dream shows at Glasgow’s Barrowland. 

The Snuts are here to stay.

Storming the Glaswegian scene and beyond, The Dunts are quickly becoming one of Scotland’s hottest exports. Forming in late 2016, the young quartet are a new breed, demanding attention with their unique mix of defiant guitars, statement rhythm and acerbic lyricism - branded ‘council punk’. 

Produced by Johnny Madden (of Baby Strange) and Chris Marshall (Gerry Cinnamon, Rascalton, The Van T’s), their debut self-released EP ‘Not Working Is Class’ boasted vicious yet intelligently energetic punk anthems, squeezed into an electrifying 9 minutes. 

‘Dimitri’, a stand-out track from the EP, gained ardent radio support from BBC Radio Scotland’s Vic Galloway,  Radio X’s John Kennedy and BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens - who crowned the single ‘Pick Of The Week’ upon release. Follow up single ‘Birds and The Beez’, and the most recent release, ‘Witch Hunt’ also gained Huw Stephens’ coveted accolade, and received plays on global tastemaker stations such as Los Angeles’ KROQ and Germany’s FluxFM. 

Unapologetic and irrefutable - their live shows have rewarded them with sold-out shows in hometown venues, King Tuts and Stereo. In 2018 alone, their blistering performances and rocketing reputation have seen the foursome pack-out tents and stages alike at Electric Fields, Belladrum, XpoNorth, Stag and Dagger, as well as the monumental Reading & Leeds festivals. 

United by an undeniable ferocity and charming tongue-in-cheek sensibilities, The Dunts are Rab Smith, David McFarlane, Colin McGachy and Kyle McGhee. Their sophomore EP ‘Self Proclaimed Council Punk’ is set to be released in late September.

Devastatingly handsome independent record label from the city of Glasgow, Scotland.  Established in 1995, the label was created by the four members of...yeah, yeah, whatever.
