BMX Bandits are a beloved indie pop group hailing from Bellshill, Scotland, and have woven their melodic charm into the fabric of indie music since their inception in 1985. Founded by songwriter and lead vocalist Duglas T. Stewart, the group has been known for its eclectic mix of sounds, blending classic pop influences with a whimsical and often bittersweet lyrical style that captures the emotional nuances of life and love. Over the years, the band has seen a rotating cast of musicians, including members who went on to fame with groups like Teenage Fanclub and the Soup Dragons.

The BMX Bandits' discography spans over three decades, reflecting a journey that has embraced evolution while maintaining an endearing core. Albums like "BMX Bandits Forever" and "BMX Bandits In Space" showcase their ability to create conceptually rich projects with an enduring pop sensibility, while singles such as "How Not To Care" and "It's In Her Eyes" offer more intimate glimpses into the Bandits' universe. Their latest contribution to the arts, "Music for the Film 'Dreaded Light'," indicates their versatility, venturing into the realm of soundtrack work with the same idiosyncratic charm that has long defined their albums. BMX Bandits' music often feels like a warm, nostalgic hug, a reminder of the tenderness that can be found in the chaos of the world.
