City Lights le nouveau FLAIR sur LRdR

Flair continue to light up Scotland’s alt-rock scene and tear up the rulebook with their latest release, City Lights. Since solidifying their line-up in 2023, this fearless five-piece have been redefining the local alt-music landscape while rapidly gaining national momentum. Channelling the melodic finesse of Wunderhorse and The War On Drugs, fused with the raw edge of Fontaines D.C., Flair have carved out a sound entirely their own. Rather than leaning on nostalgia, they deliver swirling beds of reverb, infectious hooks, and crisp, contemporary production. The result? A sound that’s both fresh and familiar—irresistible to long-time fans and newcomers alike. Their music often reflects their Glasgow connection with the city acting as both a muse and drawing inspiration; whilst many bands rebel against their roots. 2024 marked a major leap forward, kicked off by the anthemic release of Run Away and followed by their debut EP. These releases coincided with sold-out headline shows in Glasgow and gigs across the UK and Ireland, all helping to spread their electrifying, genre-bending sound. National press took note too, with The Scotsman naming Flair their "Under the Radar" artist of the month. In early 2025, Flair dropped their first music video Saccharine, directed by the acclaimed Stuart Alexander. With over 108,000 views worldwide, it was clear Flair’s appeal extends well beyond the stage. Sold-out support slots for touring bands at Glasgow’s iconic King Tut’s and McChuills, plus a packed show for a touring band in Newcastle followed. Being invited to support a touring band in another city confirmed the band’s growing pull on the live circuit. Now, with a strong support team behind them—including rising indie label Revo Pro Records and established producer Mark Morrow—Flair are poised for their next big moment. Their sixth single City Lights drops on 4th July, fresh off tour dates in Lincoln and Birmingham, and ahead of appearances at Belladrum Festival and Prestfest 2025. With further gigs lined up in Sheffield, Manchester and back home in Glasgow, City Lights is set to be a defining release. Ironically, it’s Flair’s darkness that often shines the brightest—whilst their debut EP reminded us it’s always darkest before the dawn, City Lights captures the sound of the dawn itself. In just 10 months since Run Away, Flair have gone from local buzz to national must-watch. Speak to their ever-growing fanbase and they’ll tell you: this is just the beginning. Flair aren’t just making noise—they’re igniting a sonic revolution.
