About Me

Hi there.I'm the Pictish Trail. My real name is Johnny.I run a wee DIY record label with my friend, King Creosote, called Fence Records.

My debut album, Secret Soundz Vol.1 is coming out, on September 8th, through Fence Records - available from the Fence website, and in all good independent record stores. However, you can purchase a copy now if you come along to any of my live shows over the summer.This is what it looks like



If you can't make it to a live show, and you simply MUST have something Pictish in your collection, then you might want to have a peek at this single. It's a split 7" with the band FOUND, on puke-green vinyl. My side contains the song 'Words Fail Me Now', which you can hear in the MySpace player, above.

You can buy it from Fence Records .
