The Marches are rewriting the rules of pop-rock with latest single, Dont Fool Me Twice

Music Review | 6th Dec, 2025

Rewriting Scotland’s pop-rock rulebook with grit, wit, and melody, The Marches are a fearless all-female four-piece who are quickly becoming impossible to ignore. Since dropping their debut single In Comes The Fear back in 2024, the band has been carving out their own space in the Scottish music scene, and their momentum is only growing.

These girls are no strangers to the stage either. With appearances at iconic venues like King Tut’s and spots on the festival circuit already under their belts, they’ve built a reputation for high-energy, unforgettable live shows. Their sound feels timeless yet fresh, their lyrics are unapologetically honest, and their stage presence is nothing short of electric.

November 2025 saw the band release their powerful Double A-side November, a project that marked a turning point in their sonic journey. One side of that release, the track November, acts as the closing chapter of a story The Marches have been quietly telling, raw, reflective, and full of the emotional push and pull of a relationship caught between harmony and dissonance.

Then there’s Don’t Fool Me Twice, a track that brings a whole different kind of energy. Catchy, melodic vocals layered with harmonies sit over distorted guitars and pounding rock drums. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the song drops into a slower moment before a repetitive guitar riff drags it back to full throttle.

Together, November and Don’t Fool Me Twice feel like two sides of the same coin, one looking inward, the other pushing boldly forward. Gritty, assertive, and full of confidence, Don’t Fool Me Twice in particular signals a fresh new chapter for The Marches as they charge toward 2026 with a bold new sound.

The single, Dont Fool Me Twice, is available through all streaming platforms.
