Dictator
Daring, dynamic and devastating–West Lothian’s Dictator aren’t here to mess about, at least when it comes to creating non–stop indie–pop anthems anyway.
Stepping out of their shell with a substantial stomp in their stride, the four–piece–consisting of vocalist Michael Campbell, guitarist Zach Tarimo Goodhur, bassist Joe Murty, and drummer Allan Ramsay–refuse to be pigeon holed, as they emphatically strut through a sonic landscape of inventive indie licks, electrifying electronics, and perfectly prodigious pop grooves.
