Scottish female four-piece The Marches are just beginning to establish themselves across the UK, having made an immediate local splash with a sound that combines timelessness, charisma, and poetry with modern alt-rock. Since a 2024 debut, they’ve sold out King Tut’s, headlined at SWG3 and caught the ears of tastemakers. Signed to Revo Pro Records and managed by One Roof Music, there’s something in the air for 2025 that may see the quartet make a full-scale breakout.
Their latest, ‘Come Back Around’, is as bittersweet as it is vociferous. Intricate, spiralling guitar counter melodies drive the arrival of a longing, melancholic vocal performance, ultimately supported by moody rhythm section undertones.
The immediacy and emotional weight make for a sharp listen that grows on subsequent loops. Familiar, impassioned and interesting all at once, ‘Come Back Around’ is another leap forward for the band on the rise.
Band guitarist and songwriter Jane shares, “I wrote this about five or six years ago. At the time, I was surrounded by musicians—seeing them gig, play in bands, and really live that creative life. I was desperate to be part of something like that myself, but I wasn’t gigging or in a band yet, and it was frustrating. The song came out of that feeling—just wanting to keep practicing, keep going, and hoping that something would eventually click. And thankfully, it did!”
