Something In The Water (DEMO)

[Intro]
(Do you feel them?)
(Do you feel them watching?)

[Verse 1]
There's a weight above the ceiling that we're never meant to see
Fingers longer than the highways pulling strings we call "free"
Every breath you think you're taking, every step you think you choose
They're the ones who move the current, they're the ones who light the fuse

[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes late at night I feel it—
A tickle on my skin
Like something reaching through the fabric
From the world that we're trapped in

[Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Giant hands we've never known
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Pulling flesh, conducting bone!
We're the dolls beneath the floorboards
We're the shadows of their storm
TONIGHT THE GIANTS RAGE IN HEAVEN
AND WE DANCE TO KEEP THEM WARM!

[Verse 2]
Watch the cars move like they're dreaming on an invisible track
Every baby born is molded by the hands behind the black
Lightning's just their fingertips tapping on our paper sky
We mistake the strings for freedom, we mistake the cage for "why"

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the tremors building?
Something's wrong up there tonight
Halloween—the veil is thinning
And the storm's becoming bright

[Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Giant hands we've never known
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Pulling flesh, conducting bone!
We're the dolls beneath the floorboards
We're the shadows of their storm
TONIGHT THE GIANTS RAGE IN HEAVEN
AND WE DANCE TO KEEP THEM WARM!

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
They made the mothers, made the fathers
Made the children made of dust
We're scratching at dimensions
While they cradle us in rust

Feel the tickle? That's them moving
Feel the shiver? That's them near
On Halloween the storm breaks open—
AND THE GIANTS SHOW NO FEAR!

[Final Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Gods we'll never understand!
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
We're the puppets in their hands!
We're the echoes in the basement
We're the trembling, we're the swarm
THE GIANTS SCREAM TONIGHT IN THUNDER
AND WE DANCE INSIDE THEIR STORM!

[Outro]
(The storm is here...)
(Can you feel them now?)
(They're dancing too...)
(They're dancing too...)

Do you feel them?

Running on Empty


In the quiet of her bedroom, shadows on the wall
She whispers to the silence, no sound at all
Her little world of secrets, invisible and bright
Imaginary friendships slipping through the night

Nobody sees her hidden world unfold
She speaks in thoughts, in stories never told

Spooky little girl, dancing in the dark, do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my,
Talking with her mind, reaching for a spark
Lonely little dreamer, longing to be heard
Do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my!


She walks among the daydreams drifting down the hall
A silent kind of language only she recalls
Her cat curls up beside her, purring like a charm
The only soul that feels her magic keeping warm

She’s waiting for a voice to answer back
A touch of real affection she still lacks

Spooky little girl, dancing in the dark, do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my,
Talking with her mind, reaching for a spark
Lonely little dreamer, longing to be heard
Do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my!

Maybe in the glow
Someone out there soon will know
The language she can’t say aloud
The quiet heart behind the shroud
A girl who only wants a hand to hold
A story shared, a future told

Spooky little girl, dancing in the dark, do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my,
Talking with her mind, reaching for a spark
Lonely little dreamer, longing to be heard
Do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my!
Do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my!
Do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my!
Spooky little girl, dancing in the dark, do, do, la, la, la, whoa, oh my oh my,

Let someone love your world.

Animal (Acoustic Version)

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.
