Formed in Kilmarnock originally as a song-writing duo before rapid expansion into a rousing rabble, The Stumblers are a modern Scottish folk-punk collective with a wall of sound and depth of character that’d rival any fine Hebridean malt.
Combining the revered ancestry of Celtic melodies with the lyrical substance of protest-era folk, the instrumentation of American old-time and bluegrass, and wrapping it all up with the driving modern rhythms of upbeat punk rock, it really has to be seen and heard to be understood and enjoyed.
Whether singing about turning on your heels in a tough situation, growing up in a rough Ayrshire scheme, or that quintessentially lamentable Scottish subject – the perils of the demon drink, The Stumblers deliver a whisky-soaked skelp of honesty amidst their controlled chaos.
