Cold Years

Cold Years are rightfully regarded as Scotland's new hope in the rock 'n' roll circus because with their emotional style, they not only capture the spirit of the times but also capture the hearts of fans by storm. Why are Cold Years one of the most interesting newcomers in recent years?

Quite simply, imagine Against Me! going for a few beers with the Foo Fighters and coincidentally bumping into Bruce Springsteen. Voilà - Cold Years! The band was formed in 2014 by singer/guitarist Ross Gordon, guitarist Finlay Urquhart, bassist Louis Craighead, and drummer Fraser Allan. After the "Death Chasers" EP in 2016 and initial concerts in the UK, the prestigious Kerrang! magazine crowned Cold Years as the "hottest band of the year" in 2019. In 2020, their highly acclaimed debut album, "Paradise," was released, receiving support from Kerrang! (#42 in the Top 50 Albums of 2020), Rock Sound, Upset, Alt Press, NPR, American Songwriter, Visions (DE), and many others. The band achieved numerous positive milestones through playlist placements, including New Punk Tracks, The Punk List, All New Rock, Rock Rotation, Pop Punk's Not Dead, Covered In Punk, New Noise, The Scene, NMF Suomi, VOLUME SUOMI. "Paradise" even made it onto the charts: #36 on the UK Indie Charts, #7 on the Indie Breakers Chart, #16 on the Scottish Album Charts, #17 on the German Metal-Rock Chart, and reached #4 (Rock) and #21 (All Genres) on iTunes.
