LATEST FROM The Marches
THE SOUND: THE MARCHES
The Marches are a fearless all‐female rock four‐piece from the west of Scotland, carving out their own lane with a sound that fuses emotional intensity, melodic ambition, and razor‐sharp storytelling. Since forming in early 2024, the Glasgow outfit have become one of Scotland’s most compelling new voices; a band unafraid to sit in the tension between fragility and force,
between what breaks us and what builds us.
Their early singles In Comes The Fear and Talking Too Much announced them as a group with something to say and the bite to say it. BBC Radio Scotland support arrived quickly, followed by a fast‐growing grassroots following drawn to the band’s honesty, humour, and electric live presence. By 2025, The Marches had stepped decisively into the national spotlight: festival appearances at Pavilion Festival, Prestfest, and Belladrum (Seedlings Stage and Tomatin Bothy Sessions), sold‐out Glasgow headline shows, and a Double A‐Side release (November / Don’t Fool Me Twice) that showcased their evolving sonic identity.
The tracks earned international premieres, national and international press coverage, and praise from BBC Introducing Scotland, who hailed them as “Glasgow’s freshest girlband.”
2026 marks a new creative chapter.
Their acoustic single She revealed a quieter, more intimate side of the band, luminous, vulnerable, and emotionally expansive earning early support from BBC Introducing Scotland, Amazing Radio UK, and Amazing Radio US.
Now, with their forthcoming EP "Faultline" (October 2026), The Marches step into their boldest work yet. A four‐track emotional arc built around pressure points, breaking points, and the truths that surface in between, Faultline captures the band at their most urgent and fearless. Across their catalogue, The Marches stitch together striking guitars, dynamic percussion, and
vocals that move from raw confession to commanding power. Their songs are built on emotional honesty calling out confronting cycles, celebrating vulnerability, and finding strength in the fractures.
With momentum rising, a hometown headline at The Garage Attic November 2026, and a growing reputation for electrifying live shows, The Marches are not just emerging. They’re ascending,rewriting Scotland’s rock rulebook one chapter at a time.
