Mine For Me is the first single to be taken from Fatherson's debut album 'I Am An Island' due for release later in 2013.
---
Fatherson are a four piece based in Glasgow and formed in Kilmarnock. They have been making waves in the Scottish music scene following a string of supports with bands such as Frightened Rabbit, Panic! at the Disco, Feeder, Twin Atlantic and Idlewild.

Fatherson have released two singles. “Hometown”, through King Tuts Recordings, showcases the band’s ability to write anthemic indie songs that will be running around your head for weeks to come. 2012 saw the release of “First Born”, strengthening the band's reputation & helping to build a fanbase all over the country.

Following the inclusion of a song on BBC Radio 1's Introducing playlist, the band performed on the BBC Introducing stage at T in the Park where their set was aired on BBC2. Gaining experience through further festival appearances during the summer culminated in a trip to America for an industry showcase, laying the foundations there for the future.

Fatherson completed their year with their biggest headline tour to date packing out venues such as The Garage in Glasgow, the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh and The Ironworks in Inverness.

In 2013, in-between recording their debut album, the band have been playing around the country including appearances at The Great Escape in Brighton,This Is Fake DIY in London, Stag & Dagger at the ABC 1 in Glasgow and the Main Stage at Rockness. Fatherson play a few selected festivals and shows throughout the summer and are currently planning a UK tour in November.

Announced Upcoming Dates
July
20th : Hebcelt, Stornoway
August :
2nd : Belladrum, Inverness-shire
FULL UK TOUR TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON

Fatherson, meanwhile, are one of Scotland’s more effervescent musical hopes, that much was clear within a few minutes. Between heavily-bearded singer Ross Leighton’s compelling, yearning vocal and a musical style which caused even the band to throw themselves about the stage (the track Hometown was an energetic high) they remind one of a more muscular Frightened Rabbit or a plaid-shirted indie alternative to their fellow Ayrshiremen Biffy Clyro. Similar levels of success to the above hopefully await.
The Scotman, July 2013

"In short, Kilmarnock boys Fatherson rock. I mean, they all wear woolly jumpers and bobble hats ...but they rock” 
Ally McCrae, BBC Radio 1 - BBC Introducing With Jen And Ally

“They’ve gone from strength to strength”
Jim Gellatly, In:Demand/Amazing Radio - “Jim’s 10 for 2013”

“if this is a sign of things to come, then you can expect big things from the humble Scottish four-piece. Their album can’t come soon enough”
The Journal

“The Scottish band most likely to ‘do a Frightened Rabbit’ soon” 
The List

“Fatherson are on the up and up”
Evening Times

"Announcing that they'll be releasing an album after the Summer, the band's performance is well rehearsed and finely refined, suggesting even bigger things to come for the already successful young Scots if their album material stands up to their performance capabilities. If this is the case, they'll soon be following in the footsteps of big stage break out bands Twin Atlantic and Frightened Rabbit"

you sing about love, something you're capable of
say you've calmed down and don't get around as much
we were unplanned and i understand that
i understand i do
it's just you fucked every girl in the room

you found your way in
let you get under my skin
asked where your favourite place is and you told me Berlin
leaving me high and dry, i hate to say goodbye
say goodbye to you
i know the world is waiting for you

everything is easier in the dark with you
when you're telling me everything that i want you to
that's fine but...
we'll lose it, if we do this
our innocence will lose its grip of
we'll lose it, if we do it
our innocence will lose its grip of...

3. You Are

AmatrArt are due to release the double a-side single Mirror/Soft Skin on 8th April 2016 via Bloc+ Music. Subversively playing with the indie/electro dynamic, the band have carefully constructed a sound that embraces the immediacy of indie-pop, allied to a distinctively high brow ambient sound, all unified by the dreamy Mark Hollis (Talk Talk) style vocals produced by Jonathan Mullen. 

Mirror, which opens with a sweeping synth and heavily reverbed guitar, is a song of self-reflection with the protagonist questioning his decisions, before summing up with the line “where did I go wrong?” A rasping guitar riff emanates throughout the chorus followed by a searing solo, as the song builds and builds before coming to a crashing end.

Not to be outdone, Soft Skin offers another example of the talent AmatrArt possess despite their young age. Encapsulating the electronica intricacies of Kid A era Radiohead, Soft Skin kicks off with the alluring sounds of synth straddling chiming guitar, while singer Mullen shows off his vocal range, the verses delivered flawlessly, as the mix between his and the rest of the bands punctuated choral vocals help to create an almost overwhelming effect.

Having known each other and played music together from a young age Jonathan Mullen (Vocals & Guitar), Josh McGeechan (Guitar) and Niall Jootun (Bass) formed AmatrArt after a series of jams and bedroom recordings. Completing the line up with Niall Morris (Samples/Synths) and Lewis Orr (Drums) the band have gone onto produce as sound that sits somewhere between contemporary acts such as alt-J, Dutch Uncles and Nothing But Thieves. Having already played the T Break Stage at T in the Park last year as well as picking up support from the likes of BBC Radio Scotland, the Scotland on Sunday and The Herald, AmatrArt are eager to share their sound with a wider audience throughout 2016.

Mirror/Soft Skin is out 8th April 2016 via Bloc+ Music.
