Midnight Ambulance

Midnight Ambulance are an alternative rock duo from Scotland. In 2021, they were shortlisted for BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year, and in 2022 released their debut EP ‘Smoke and Sweets’ at a sold out headline show at Sneaky Pete’s and The Caves (Edinburgh). They were featured on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Scotland (‘Single of the Week’), Apple Music (‘new in rock’), in the iTunes Top50 album charts and by Blackhall Records who released the EP on vinyl. Inspired by artists such as Portishead and Sylvan Esso, their music explores the peculiar force of our internal worlds. 

Amelia (vocals, drums) and Fraser (guitar, vocals) began collaborating several years ago after a chance encounter in Paris. Fraser, guitar technician for bands First Aid Kit and Sam Fender, was on tour in the city, while Amelia was pursuing a career in international PR with a French creative agency. Having briefly met on the Edinburgh music scene ten years prior, they discovered a captivating familiarity as they began to collaborate. What started as a cathartic outlet soon turned into something more, writing over 70 songs in a matter of weeks.

“Ominous, looming and with a real sense of menace,” Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Scotland
