The Winter Tradition
The Winter Tradition is an alternative indie rock group from Edinburgh. Their music is described as combining atmospheric textures with strong, chorus-led songs, and they are associated with a live show noted for its tightness and scale.
Background
The band is active in the Scottish rock scene and emerges from Edinburgh’s local venues. Their debut long player, Gradients, appears in July 2012 and marks the start of their recorded output as a band. They continue to be linked with the venues they play in Edinburgh and with the development of a sound built around large, stadium-style hooks.
Live activity
The Winter Tradition build a reputation through support slots for Hundred Reasons, Enter Shikari, The Xcerts, Nine Black Alps and The Boxer Rebellion. They also play sold-out hometown shows at The Liquid Room and the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh, which adds to their profile as a live act.
Style
Their sound sits in alternative and indie rock, with a focus on atmospheric arrangements and memorable choruses. The band is also associated with a woolly, winter-themed image that fits the name and overall presentation.
