Into Music review, New Phone New Car New Man (John Welsh, April 24) :

https://www.intocreative.co.uk/into-music-new-album-review-the-countess-of-fife/ “…it’s steeped in something deeper: experience, place, and the kind of emotional honesty that can’t be faked”

The Scotsman **** (Fiona Shepherd, May 7) “Rezillos front woman Fay Fife sings up a storm on New Phone New Car New Man …”

Fay in the spotlight receiving her Special Achievement Award from John Robb at the Lowland Music Awards ceremony. The Countess of Fife performed a few numbers, joined for a memorable finale by the ubiquitous Martin Metcalfe (The Filthy Tongues)

  • “…a night of Fay’s richly honeyed spellbinding vocal atop a backdrop of the band’s sublime take on twanging rockabilly-tinged alt-country Americana, occasionally delivered with a dark twist and sting in the tail.” (review of Edinburgh Festival Fringe '23 show)

  • No 7 Scottish Album Chart

  • No 2 Indie Breakers Chart

  • No 21 UK Album Chart

  • No 18 in UK Indie Chart

Thanks to all who supported the album’s release and made this happen! Onwards and upwards!

…. it’s as if Punk never died; just grew up

…Which is actually as good a way as any to describe songs like the Twangtastic Goodbye Motorbike Guy

Still from The Countess of Fife single - TRAPPED - Video, by Peter Dorris

Great reviews tumbling in for the new album STAR OF THE SEA, the new single WANDERING STAR and the live performance by THE COUNTESS OF FIFE at the Glad Cafe in Glasgow

Fay had the small but perfectly formed crowd eating out of her hand from the off, her personality shining through in both her vocal performances and in her between song banter and the stories of the songs.
