The LaFontaines are a distinctive blend of rock, hip-hop, and pop hailing from Motherwell, Scotland, known for their ability to fuse different genres into a cohesive and energetic sound that resonates with a diverse array of music fans. Formed in 2008, the band comprises frontman Kerr Okan, guitarist Darren McCaughey, and drummer Jamie Keenan. Their music often features compelling storytelling, sharp social commentary, and unapologetically Scottish identity, often accentuated by their use of regional dialect in their lyrics.

Since their inception, The LaFontaines have built a reputation for their dynamic live shows, intense musicality, and relatable lyrics. They released their debut album, "Class," in 2015, which was followed by "Common Problem" in 2017 and the assertive "Junior" in 2019. Their catalog includes a mix of punchy anthems and introspective acoustic versions, such as the reflective "Pro (Acoustic)" and the stripped-down "All In (Acoustic)" from the "Junior (Acoustic Tapes)." Their track "Scotland, Bonnie Scotland" not only showcases their love for their home country but has also been remixed, like the version done by Sparkos & Her Indoors, to resonate with different audiences. With their most recent releases, The LaFontaines continue to solidify their position as an innovative and influential band in the Scottish music scene and beyond.
