A BAND who have been dubbed a major new voice in Scottish music will be key players in the Live@Troon Music Festival.

Mt. Doubt have been confirmed to headline the Girvans Troon's Fringe Stage at this year's musical extravaganza.

Formed in 2015 as the project of frontman Leo Bargery, Mt. Doubt have evolved musical arms and legs into a multi instrumental alt-rock / dark-pop band with comparison made to The National, Nick Cave, and The Twilight Sad.

Their sophomore album In Awe of Nothing was released via Scottish Fiction to critical acclaim, receiving praise from the likes of The Herald, The National, The List and The Skinny. Radio airplay followed on BBC 6Music, BBC Radio Scotland, KEXP, XFM, and Amazing Radio, as well as playing two live sessions for BBC Radio Scotland.

They were tipped as one of BBC Radio Scotland's Vic Galloway's 'Top 25 Scottish Artists to Watch' and described as "a massively distinctive new voice in Scottish music" by BBC Radio Scotland's Roddy Har.

Last year saw further development with the release of two new EP's, The Loneliness of the TV Watchers and Moon Landings.

Live, the band have been praised for their energetic and atmospheric performances at T in the Park, Belladrum, Brew at the Bog, ButeFest, and XpoNorth.

Recent supports slots include high profile bands such as We Were Promised Jetpacks, Errors, Admiral Fallow, and White Lies.
