Formed in a Harris Tweed mill in 1998, Face The West are truly one of the originators of electro-trad. Taking early influence from renegades such as Wolfstone and Martyn Bennett, they have since blazed their own trail through Scottish traditional music. The band’s founding members grew up in the Outer Hebrides, where the strong culture of the Gaidhealtachd instilled in them a respect for traditional tunes that they’ve carried from their very first gig around a stormy bonfire to the most prestigious festival stages in the country. Face the West have energy in spades: screaming synth solos, brash guitars, and unrelenting dance beats. But their love for pipe, accordion, and fiddle tunes still takes centre stage, unifying ravers and trad purists alike with a sound that celebrates Scottish music’s past and toasts slàinte mhath to its future.
