Sticks and Stones (Scottish band)

Background

In early 2012, Aiden "Needs A" Halliday (Lead Singer, Acoustic Guitar), Peter "The Slayer" Wall (Electric Guitar), and Angus Bruce (Keyboard) formed Sticks and Stones whilst studying at Wallace Hall Academy. They achieved a small amount of exposure from playing smaller venues before being signed to the independent record label, Distilled Records. Under Distilled records they have grown in popularity, spending a large majority of 2013 playing at multiple festivals, such as the Eden Festival, the Electric Fields Festival (which was held at Drumlanrig Castle), and the Youth Beatz Festival within the Dumfries and Galloway region before spending time out to write material for the launch of their first album, "Into the Wild".

The band spent the majority of 2014 playing smaller venues, festivals, and writing music for their debut album, "Into The Wild", which was released October 4 2014. One of their songs from their debut album, "Oceans", received national airtime on BBC Radio Scotland.
