discography:

Rising Scottish quintet, SILVER DOLLAR ROOM, are set to ignite the alt-rock scene once again with their highly-anticipated sophomore album, ‘It Can’t Rain All The Time‘, out Friday 12th September.
Ahead of the release, the Edinburgh alt rockers will unveil their hard-hitting new single and video, ‘Normal People‘, on Friday 5th September, 2025.
Since forming in 2023, SILVER DOLLAR ROOM have carved out a striking presence, blending the bleak beauty of Scottish life with the emotional urgency of American alt-rock.
Channelling the likes of Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Manic Street Preachers, and Stone Temple Pilots, the band filters these influences through a distinctly modern and cinematic lens.
‘It Can’t Rain All The Time‘ is a statement album loaded with searing social commentary.
Tackling themes such as male suicide, destructive relationships, class divide, addiction, poverty, wealth, and greed, the record brims with raw energy and meaningful introspection.
The band remarks:
“More than just a collection of songs, the album serves as a powerful statement on modern-day life and how the echoes of our past shape our present.”
Their new single, ‘Normal People‘, encapsulates the essence of the band:
a towering wall of sound, laced with haunting melodies and unflinching honesty.
Centering on a toxic, co-dependent relationship, the song paints a harrowing picture of emotional breakdown, accountability, and the hope of survival.
It’s a bold exploration of male vulnerability, shining a light on stories often left in the dark.
With demand for live performances growing rapidly, tour and festival dates are in the pipeline.
Earlier on in 2025 the Scotts had released already the single ‘Monsters‘.
A track that captures their core:
a wall of sound pierced by earnest emotion and haunting vocal hooks.
The lyrical focus tackles the painful subject of the Rochdale child abuse scandal, and the song sheds light on how working-class girls were systematically failed by authorities who dismissed their voices, branding them as both unreliable and as liars.
The result is a damning critique of societal and institutional neglect.
