The Marches | Off Axis Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 9 February 2025
The Marches have a knack for infectious pop-rock gems, write Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss read Scotsman.com
Hailing from across Ayrshire and Paisley, The Marches consists of Katie Palmer, Jane Jenkins, Nicola Singleton and Kate Morrow; an ex-international basketball player, a scientist, multi-linguist and former X-Factor performer.
Despite being relative newcomers, they’ve already hit some significant milestones. The group headlined King Tuts Wah Wah Hut for their debut gig, returning to the iconic venue earlier this year for the New Year’s Revolution Festival. They’ve also secured airplay via BBC Introducing, Radio Wigwam, Amazing Radio, Lomond Radio plus some international spins.
As an all-female band in a male dominated industry, they’ve endured negative experiences (listen to Talking Too Much) but remain passionate about gender equality and supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
With influences ranging from The Cranberries, Fleetwood Mac to The Bangles and ABBA, The Marches have a knack for penning infectious pop-rock gems with multi-part vocal harmonies and catchy guitar riffs. Definite ones to watch, catch them live at The Poetry Club in Glasgow on 8 March for their Feel It All launch party visit https://linktr.ee/themarches
