Born Innocent

The Proclaimers

High-energy Scottish folk rock defined by twin-brother harmonies, metronomic pop rhythms, and lyrics that find beauty in booze, petrol, and hard-won redemption.

It’s like a heart-to-heart at the pub with two brothers who aren't afraid to shout about their feelings.

A resilient and earnest collection of songs that balances high-energy pub-rock with moments of quiet, soul-searching vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic, metronomic drive of 'Dear Deidre' that recaptures the infectious energy of their early hits.
The raw, confessional opening lines of 'Hate My Love' delivered with unapologetic Scottish grit.
The swelling emotional payoff in 'No Witness' where the harmonies shift from unison to a desperate, soaring blend.
