Uncle Fritz is just one of the alter egos belonging to 24 year-old Fraser Stewart, the talented painter and musician hailing from the Scottish city of Dundee.
Since releasing his debut LP, Nine Songs through the Pet Piranha Records label in 2005, Uncle Fritz's music has been met with critical acclaim from the Scottish underground scene and through appearances at Aberdeen's GO North and Glasgow's Musicworks festivals...
...plus sharing line-ups with the likes of Scottish victory rockers Laeto, the folky musings of Foxface, fellow Dundonians The Hazey Janes, U.S.A artists Thomas Traux, Son Of Dave, Jana Hunter and Viking Moses, Otterley, Frank Turner (ex Million Dead), Hobotalk to name but a few.
He has cemented himself as an accomplished and gifted performer in the live arena. In addition to this he also plays bass in the angular, power trio, Alamos and fronts hardcore metallers, Perineum.
Having always been a fascinated by the nastier things in life, the songs of Uncle Fritz focus upon such subject matters as murder, hate, drug addiction, isolation, physical violence, even vampires but are all delievered in beautifully delicate melodies, creating a intimate and somewhat, chilling atmosphere for the listener.
The follow-up album, Field Reports is released Nov 6th 2006 and will be available from shows and through the on-line shop at petpiranha.com.

I have decided to block friend request from bands. Over the last while I've foolishly accepted invitations from bands without listening to them first (due to lack of time, etc) and have now discovered the vast majority of them are complete and utter shite. If you are a band/solo artist/whatever then message me instead. I'll have a listen to your stuff and if I like it you'll be added.
