About the Artist
Boss Stomp are a Blues, Roots & Rock two-piece from the Mid North Coast of NSW, on Gumbaynggirr Country. In just 18 months, they’ve built a strong grassroots following and a reputation as a firebrand live
act with a fresh sound, that delivers an uncompromising spectacle punching well beyond their two-man lineup.
A hard-working fixture on the regional club circuit between Brisbane and Sydney, Boss Stomp are rapidly establishing themselves on the national festival circuit, with appearances at major events including Airlie Beach Festival of Music (QLD), Blues at Bridgetown (WA), and were invited on to play Byron Bay Bluesfest 2026 (NSW), in addition to a plethora of boutique festival appearances and headline shows.
The secret is in the spectacle. Frontman Skotty Fairclough drives the machine simultaneously playing the drums with his feet, tearing into his trademark resonator guitar and delivering a unique powerhouse vocal style all of his own, while bassist Greg Farr anchors the low end, adds backing vocals and triggers additional percussion through electronic foot controls. No conventional drummer, no drum machine,
no backing tracks — just two impressive musicians operating in lockstep to unleash a huge, primitive rhythm-driven wall of sound.
Blending the raw aggression of Grunge with the grit and soul of Blues and Roots, Boss Stomp bring an unconventional, high-energy approach to the genre. It’s a physical, multi-instrumental performance that has to be seen as much as heard.
Their debut EP, “Dust Kicker”, spawned three singles, each receiving community radio airplay nationally. With follow-up EP “Mud Slinger” scheduled for release in summer 2026/27, Boss Stomp are gearing up
for a 12-date promotional tour amongst further major festival
appearance offers already rolling in for 2027.
Strange Ways is a Blues and Roots song with a hypnotic pulse, eerie slide and a lot of music / vocal depth that explores the concept of a person who turns their back on societal rules to explore life beyond boundaries believing he's just a pawn in gods game.

With its hypnotic rhythm, chanting, staccato breakdowns and eerie slide guitar work, Strange Ways is a darker edged alternate blues track for Boss Stomp and lyrically explores mans conscious decision and reasoning to veer from the path in order to explore life beyond rules and normality
