Midnight Ambulance

In 2020, old friends Fraser (guitar/vocals) and Amelia (drums/vocals) reconnected after losing touch for many years. When lockdown hit, they began collaborating as a creative and cathartic outlet. Their musical partnership quickly developed into something bigger, writing 70+ songs by June 2020. On Amelia’s return to Scotland, after eight months of writing together via video call, they finally had the opportunity to jam live and decided to form Midnight Ambulance.

This year, they were shortlisted for BBC Introducing’s Scottish Act of the Year. They have released three studio singles — ‘Black Gloves’, ‘5 AM’ and ‘Rust’ — which quickly gained the attention of national media. Features include: Apple Music ‘New in Rock’ playlist; BBC 6 Music Tom Robinson’s BBC Introducing Mixtape; BBC Radio Scotland (Vic Galloway & BBC Introducing); BBC Alba (Single of the Week); and The Scotsman on Sunday (Artist of the Week).

They have performed at festivals and in venues across the UK, supporting artists such as The Pigeon Detectives (Vibration Festival), Fatherson on their latest UK tour and swim school (Hidden Door Festival & Fringe by the Sea). This year will support Texas at Fringe by the Sea 2022.

“Dark, powerful and mysterious.” Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

“Ominous, looming and with a real sense of menace, the duo conjure a unique atmosphere with Amelia's heartfelt vocal and pounding drums front and centre, elegantly accompanied by Fraser's playing and production. This is a serious opening salvo and promises greatness in whatever they do next. As a listener, I am excited and slightly scared!!” Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Scotland.

“Judging from the sheer quality of their first two releases, Midnight Ambulance are an exciting addition to Scotland’s music scene and we can’t wait to see what comes next.” Suzanne Oswald, Tenement TV
