Fat Goth

"'Stud' is profoundly uneasy listening at its best, and weirdo freaks everywhere should love it."
- 8/10, Rock Sound Magazine

"You'll be none the wiser by the end of it all, but much richer for stumbling in to Fat Goth's odd little universe."
- 4Ks, Kerrang! Magazine

"...anyone pining for the hard-edged, stripped-down end of the 90s American alt-rock wedge, Fat Goth may be the band for you."
- BBC Music

"The audio equivalent of a bloody massive T-Bone steak covered in BBQ Sauce..."
- Ally McCrae (BBC Radio 1)

Fat Goth released their brilliant second album Stud in January receiving an array of outstanding reviews from Rock Sound, Kerrang!, Artrocker, BBC, Drowned in Sound and many more.

As the boys prepare for a tour in April and May, they're pleased to announced their next single release, a live version of the album track, Surf's Down, due to drop on April 1st via Hefty Dafty. The single will be accompanied by two live b- sides - ‘We Film The Champs Élysées (live)’ and ‘Creepy Lounge (live)’. Each track gives you a fair idea of how these boys roll live - tight, heavy and hard.



Originally conceived in 2007, the band started life with drummer Mark Keiller, guitarist/vocalist Fraser Stewart and their old school friend Allan Mitchell on bass. After releasing their debut album Mindless Crap in 2010 followed by their EP DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!! and single Willy Wonka And The Charlie Factory, Mitchell left the band and was swiftly replaced by Kevin Black of Dundee underground post-rock greats Laeto. Stud is the fruit of the band's collective labour.

Having already played with Chemikal Underground's Holy Mountain, Japanese noise band Tacobonds, METZ and appearances at Go North and Wickerman, the Scottish Alternative Music Awards opening ceremony (where they were nominated for Best Alternative Rock Act in 2013) and many a headline show, the band will take Stud on the road in 2013 with dates planned throughout April, May and beyond.
