Unkle Bob

**Unkle Bob** is a Scottish indie folk band that emerged from Glasgow’s vibrant music scene in the early 2000s. Fronted by singer-songwriter Rick Webster, the group carved out a niche with their introspective lyrics, warm melodies, and emotionally resonant sound. Their debut album, *Sugar and Spite* (2006), gained a cult following and set the tone for their heartfelt, storytelling-driven style. Over the years, they’ve released gems like the *When You Were Awake* EP and *The Highest Mountains*, blending folk sincerity with subtle alt-rock edges.

Though they’ve maintained a low profile compared to bigger acts, Unkle Bob’s loyal fanbase cherishes their knack for crafting intimate anthems like *Bad Dream* and *Go Without Me*. Their 15th-anniversary reissue of *The Hit Parade* and the recent compilation *Dream On (B-Sides, Demos & Lost Songs)* highlight their enduring charm and creative evolution. With a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh, Unkle Bob remains a hidden gem in indie folk’s quieter corners.
