There is a land between Loch Lomond and the River Clyde connected by the River Leven, known as “The Vale”.
The Bank Street Martyrs are a rock band who have been inspired by the people and the place to bring you the rhythm and blue collar sound of urban Scotland.
Listen to universal songs about growing up and growing old in their debut album - Leven the Vale. Followed by their second album the cutting edge of Dormitory Town.
Now released the first and eponymous song from our forthcoming third album - Four Towns and a Republic, plus the song Ballad of a Vale Man.
The albums and tracks are available across all major streaming platforms, including Soundcloud, Spotify and Bandcamp, where they can also be purchased.
Also check out our videos on YouTube including the cheeky Molly Mandy.
CDs of both albums are also in stock, available at Inn Defense Dumbarton @lineofdefencerecords. Alternatively enquire via Contact form on this site.
The Bank Street Martyrs are a threesome, one vocalist, one musician and one poet.
Jack James Mullen provides a soulful voice that combines with Andy’s jazz influenced rock sound and Ian’s Vale inspired words to thrilling effect.
