Description


🎙️ Episode 169 of Just Get A Real Job is out now and this week, Jamie is joined by the brilliant Edinburgh-based band Waverley.

Known for blending Americana-inspired indie rock with folk-rooted songwriting, Waverley’s sound has drawn comparisons to Bon Iver, Frightened Rabbit, and King Creosote with dynamic shifts, dueling vocals, and a darker, heavier edge.

Their new EP ‘Flail’ is out now, following the success of their 2023 debut It Makes An Emptiness Of A Crowded Place.


In this episode, we chat all about:

🎸 How the band came together 🎧 The making of their new EP Flail 💡 Their songwriting process & creative influences 🎤 What it’s really like making music in 2025 🤯 The highs and lows of being an emerging band 📝 Advice for other independent musicians … and loads more!

It’s a thoughtful, funny, and inspiring conversation with one of Scotland’s most exciting new acts.
