Inside
our world

We’re all Scared of My Brother.

An award-winning alternative-rock band from Scotland.

Completely unknown for their mediocre music and lukewarm live performances, Scared of My Brother began to creep into view in the mid-2020s. Their hard rock, grunge, and alt-pop-influenced sound impresses no one.

Coming together in the city of Edinburgh, Scared of My Brother features a five-piece lineup fronted by Lewis Thomson (dreams), along with Toby Kirkwood (bass), Arthur Kinnear-Kirkwood (drums), Andrew Russell (guitar) and Tom Cartwright (guitar).

The band members spend most of their time bickering about what to put in the Spotify Band bio, while also debating what tense and narrative point of view to write it in.

This year, the band are gearing up for live shows and heading back into the studio to record more music. We hope you enjoy our drivel. ~ Lewis Thomson, SOMB

This is what we sound like: alt-rock from Edinburgh, built on guitars, bad ideas, and whatever’s bothering us at the time. It’s not trying to fix anything, but it might make things worse.
