Roster

---

National Playboys are an alternative rock / post-punk group based in Edinburgh Scotland.

This underground musical collective was formed by frontman Kyle McFarlane in the winter of 2022. Adopting a Doorsian approach to vocals and songwriting, he shares similarities to influences ranging from the likes of David Bowie, Ian Curtis and Jim Morrison.

Marrying the bleak baritone vocals is former Book Klub guitarist Ewen Kerr, providing an eerie guitar tone and adding a blanket of gloom over the group’s songs. In the vein of the energetic outputs of the late 70s and early 80s new wave and punk scene, Dave Reed (formally of Nasari) takes on the engine room as bassist for the group.

Adding to the Playboys’ line-up in 2024 is Anna Trost of Puppy Teeth, providing her expertise on guitar/synth/vocals and Megan Pollock of Cowboy Hunters behind the drums.
