Sidewalk

Sidewalk are a fast‑rising pop‑indie‑rock five‑piece led by Glasgow songwriter Ciaran Murray, previously known for his work with Arcade State, where he first built a reputation for widescreen emotion, melodic punch, and a voice that lands with unmistakable clarity. Formed in 2026, Sidewalk blend anthemic pop hooks, textured indie guitars, and cinematic synth layers into a sound built for big rooms and bigger feelings. Backed early by Scottish heavyweights DF Concerts, the band quickly became one of the most talked‑about new acts in the country, stepping into summer with a milestone slot at King Tut’s Summer Nights supporting rising talent Joe Goodall. Driven by Murray’s unmistakable vocal presence and a lineup united by soaring choruses and emotional clarity, Sidewalk craft songs that shimmer with hope, heart, and ambition. Their debut single arrives autumn 2026, marking the beginning of a new chapter for one of Scotland’s most exciting emerging acts.
