The Road To NBHD - #03 With Fatale
We’re back on the Road to NBHD, getting to know the artists you need to have on your radar ahead of Neighbourhood Festival 2026.
This episode, Keira is joined by Glasgow band Fatale, one of the exciting new names emerging from Scotland’s guitar scene. After quickly building momentum with sold-out headline shows at iconic venues including King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and McChuills, the band released their debut EP, Saint Mungo, on 1st August.
Blending melodic overdriven guitars, raw harmonies and sharp indie-pop sensibilities with a nod to the alternative guitar sounds of the ’90s, Fatale are carving out a sound of their own.
We chat about the making of Saint Mungo, tracks including “Moves You,” “Jesus Christ” and “Long Hair,” their journey through Glasgow’s live scene, and what to expect when they hit Neighbourhood Festival in Manchester this October.
