Scotland, Bonnie Scotland…A New Football Anthem
With Scotland making their monumental return to the Euros for their first major football tournament in 23 years, Scottish rockers The LaFontaines evoke the spirit of The Tartan Army with new single Scotland, Bonnie Scotland.
Out today on Spotify & YouTube, the band team up with Scotland goalie David Marshall for the video which also features football stars Charlie Mulgrew, Chris Burke, Gary Caldwell, Kenny Miller, Suzanne Grant and Kris Boyd and a host of famous faces including Grado, Storm Huntley and Jonathan Watson for a pre-Euros kick about.
Watch the video now and out now also on Spotify here.
Scotland, Bonnie Scotland was born out of a bit of fun on The LaFontaines hilarious podcast, but what started as a laugh soon turned into the Scottish soundtrack that everybody will be singing. Perfectly channeling the joy and excitement being felt by hundreds of thousands of Scots right now. “Scotland, Bonnie Scotland, from the East Coast to the West. Tartan, tartan army, taking on all Europe’s best,” Jamie Keenan’s vocals soar through a chorus that demands a sing-along, before the track breaks down, making way for Okan’s inimitable style of slick indie-rap.
