About Dictator
Hailing from Scotland's vibrant musical landscape, Dictator has rapidly carved out a formidable reputation for their distinctive sound and explosive live shows. Formed in Edinburgh in 2019, the quartet – comprising lead vocalist Michael Macpherson, guitarist Lewis Smith, bassist Rory O’Brien, and drummer Euan Mitchell – quickly found their footing in the indie-rock and alternative scenes. Their music is a compelling blend of soaring anthems, intricate guitar work, and thought-provoking lyrics that delve into modern anxieties and societal observations.
Their early EPs, "The New Regime" and "Echoes in the Hall," garnered critical acclaim, with singles like "Concrete Jungle" and "Silent Majority" becoming instant fan favourites, known for their infectious hooks and powerful choruses. Dictator's sound often draws comparisons to the likes of Frightened Rabbit and early Editors, but with a unique contemporary edge that sets them apart. They’ve built a loyal following through relentless touring and an unwavering commitment to their craft, earning a reputation for delivering performances that are both intensely intimate and explosively energetic. Expect a band at the peak of their powers, ready to unleash their latest material alongside beloved classics.
