“Can’t wait to get back out on the road for our ‘Eat My Dust!’ Headline tour,” the band share. “The reaction to the single has blown us away and it feels like the rooms are going to erupt when we play the new tracks. We have been busy in the studio building a really unique and special new live show, the fans are going to love it.”

It marks another step up for a band whose ascent has been powered by relentless touring, critical acclaim, and a growing reputation for combustible live performances.
Eat My Dust! A Statement of Intent
Latest single “Eat My Dust!” lands as a bold, rage-fuelled mission statement. Following their critically acclaimed debut album — which earned a nomination for Scottish Album of the Year and propelled them through a run of tours and festival appearances — the track signals a heavier, more confrontational chapter.

Driven by a metalcore-leaning backbone of muscular drums and serrated guitar lines, the song frames resilience as rebellion. Guitarist Blair Crichton explains:
“Written about moving on from negative things in your past, bettering yourself and letting the haters choke on your dust cloud as you pass them. We had fun leaning into heavier influences on this song, the drums and guitar have a metalcore vibe to them which is something we want to explore more in the future. We’ve been through quite a transformational period over the last year and this felt like the perfect mission statement to come out with after some time away from releasing music.”
At the centre stands powerhouse frontwoman Anna Shields, whose vocal performance channels defiance and catharsis in equal measure. The accompanying video, directed by Zak Pinchin, matches the track’s intensity shot for shot.
