Indie Music
Admiral Fallow are an indie folk band with a bit of an orchestra throw in the mixer as well. Their second album is due to be released on May 21st and is to be name Tree Bursts In Snow. Front man Louis Abbott gives us an insight into the decision to name the album this:
Tree Burst In Snow will consist of 10 tracks:
1.) Tree Bursts
2.) The Paper Trench
3.) Guest Of The Government
4.) Beetle In The Box
5.) Old Fools
6.) Isn't This World Enough??
7.) Brother
8.) The Way You Were Raised
9.) Burn
10.) Oh, Oscar
The first single to be taken from the album is Beetle In The Box which can be downloaded for free for a limited time here: http://admiralfallow.com/
They are about to start an extensive UK tour, the dates of which can be seen here: http://www.songkick.com/artists/3065666-admiral-fallow/calendar
- The Second Hand Marching Band.
Everyone loves a bit of DIY, right? Well The Second Hand Marching Band do. It has taken them 4 years, 20 instruments and 17 people to compile 13 songs, thus creating A Hurricane, a Thunderstorm. The album opens calmly with the soft trumpets and accordion...
- Lori Mctear
First of all, thank you very much to everyone who voted in our wee poll over the last week. I wasn't sure how popular an idea it would be, but 230 votes says it all! The poll closed with Scottish singer/songwriter Lori McTear being the runaway winner...
- Song Of The Day #8
Apologies for the lack of Song of the Day yesterday, but I was away to see the fantastic talent that is Admiral Fallow in Inverness. They put on a brilliant performance to a fair sized crowd who, when asked upon, sang and ooooh'd along to a couple...
- Washington Irving
Washington Irving (probably named after the American author) are a 5 piece indie folk band, similar to the likes of fellow Scots Admiral Fallow, My Latest Novel, Frightened Rabbit etc... I've listened to a number of songs from the band on Youtube...
- How Does Scotland Continually Produce These Great Indie Bands?
When it comes to Scotland, there isn't much to be hopeful of. The weather is dire year round, there isn't much money to spare and it's near impossible to get a job. Yet there is one thing that may shed some light on our bleak horizons: Music....

??the title refers to the sound and the image of an artillery shell exploding into a cluster of snow-drenched trees.?I'm also astounded by the sheer volume of gun related violent crimes throughout the world but in particular in the U.S. The lyric from 'Tree Bursts' was inspired by the idea of the effect that losing friends through violence, in particular during times of war or conflict has on young men and women. They are "the leaves that fall louder than backfire, all orange and halloween red..."
