Admiral Fallow are a Scottish musical group formed in 2007 by singer-songwriter Louis Abbott and based in Glasgow.

Lead singer and main writer Louis Abbott has said that "All of the songs document the first chapter of my life, be it memories from school or kicking a ball about with my childhood chums.

[5] The album title comes from a line in "Subbuteo" which references an incident when Abbott was beaten up at the age of 15 in his home town of Edinburgh.

The lyric from 'Tree Bursts' was inspired by the idea of the effect that losing friends through violence, in particular during times of war or conflict has on young men and women.

The band has supported many artists – including Guillemots, King Creosote, the Futureheads, Paolo Nutini, Frightened Rabbit, Belle and Sebastian, The Low Anthem.

Late 2010 was taken up by a UK and Ireland tour opening for the band's friends and fellow Scots, Frightened Rabbit, culminating in 2 sold out shows at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom.

2011 brought a February/March UK headline tour in support of the re-issue of their self-released album, "Boots Met My Face".

On 5 July 2011, Admiral Fallow were featured on the BBC 2 documentary "Scotland Rocks at South By Southwest" which saw them performing "Squealing Pigs" at The Caritas soup kitchen for the homeless in Austin, Texas.

In January 2012 the band had a (6 shows in 7 days) sold out tour of their home town, Glasgow, during Celtic Connections 2012.

One of their highlights was a gig at the 02 ABC on 27 January, prompting The Shetland Times to rate an enthusiastic review; "There are very few occasions when one is lucky enough to be present when a band takes the step into the big league.

As well as an album release the band had a lengthy UK tour in April and May to help promote sales of Tree Bursts in the Snow.
