About

DOSS are a bold electronic post-punk trio from Glasgow, described by BBC’s Vic Galloway as a “musical wrecking-ball.”

DOSS are made up of Sorley Mackay (vocals/guitar) and Chilton Fawcett (drums), and what began in a modest bedroom studio has quickly grown into a formidable live act, known for their uncompromising sound and razor-sharp wordplay. With a strong sense of place and identity, Sorley’s lyrics are delivered in his Glaswegian accent, backed by pounding rhythms, distorted basslines, and fractured electronics.

Lyrically, DOSS confront themes like gentrification, addiction, precarious work, and generational trauma, all through the lens of working-class Scottish life. It’s this blend of urgency, cultural specificity, and conviction that’s helped Doss stand out, especially in a scene often dominated by surface-level aesthetic.

Despite being a relatively new band, Doss have already made serious inroads, supporting the likes of billy woods, Sinead O’Brien, Fat Dog and DEADLETTER, while consistently selling out hometown headline shows. Following a breakout 2024 that included airplay on BBC Radio 6 and BBC Radio 1, and a live session with BBC Scotland, the band completed their first two-week US tour, followed by a run of headline dates across the EU.

Still operating entirely independently, Doss have built a growing cult following through electrifying live shows, relentless DIY touring, and a sound that’s as confrontational as it is cathartic.
