Fright Years

Edinburgh four-piece Fright Years have quickly emerged as one of Scotland's most exciting indie rock bands, blending emotionally charged songwriting with soaring guitars and anthemic hooks. Since forming in 2021, Jules Kelly, Harrison MacLeod-Bonnar, Fraser Charleson and Struan Blacklock have built a reputation for powerful live shows and deeply personal songs, earning BBC Radio 1 support, TV placements, sold-out UK dates and critical acclaim for their debut EP Still Life, produced by Theo Verney. Now signed to a new label, the band return with Never Been Wrong, the first single from an upcoming EP. Drawing influence from Wolf Alice, The Killers and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fright Years pair Kelly's commanding vocals with cinematic indie rock that has already seen them share stages with Twin Atlantic, Fatherson and Lucia & The Best Boys, marking them as one of the UK's most promising new guitar bands.

Her Picture

Taking her name from Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, Her Picture is the musical project of singer-songwriter Anny Tahaney, whose honest, thought-provoking songwriting is captivating audiences across Scotland and beyond.

A former English Literature student, Tahaney places storytelling at the heart of her music, exploring themes of working-class frustration, generational trauma and womanhood. Her commanding vocals and evocative lyricism sit against rich, cinematic soundscapes charged with emotion and feminine rage.

Her Picture's music has earned praise from CLASH, NME and BBC Introducing. Her latest EP, Feed Me Hope, was described by Lock Magazine as "one of the most arresting releases to emerge out of the UK underground this year."

Renowned for her captivating live performances, Her Picture has shared stages with Swim School, TTSSFU and Fletchr Fletchr, and has performed at Wide Days, Focus Wales and SWN Festival. In 2026, she will make her international showcase debut at Waves Vienna and was recently shortlisted for the EMI North Artist Development Programme in partnership with Deer Shed Festival.
