Uncle Fritz is just one of the alter egos belonging to 24 year-old Fraser Stewart, the talented painter and musician hailing from the Scottish city of Dundee. Since releasing his debut LP, Nine Songs through the Pet Piranha Records label in 2005, Uncle Fritz's music has been met with critical acclaim from the Scottish underground scene and through appearances at Aberdeen's GoNorth and Glasgow's Musicworks festivals.

Gigging is infrequent but he has shared line-ups with the likes of Scottish victory rockers Laeto, the folky musings of Foxface, fellow Dundonians The Hazey Janes, U.S.A artists Thomas Traux, Son Of Dave, Jana Hunter and Viking Moses, Otterley, Frank Turner (ex Million Dead), and Hobotalk.

He has cemented himself as an accomplished and gifted performer in the live arena. In addition to this he also plays bass in the angular, power trio, Alamos and fronts hardcore metallers, Perineum. Having always been a fascinated by the nastier things in life, the songs of Uncle Fritz focus upon such subject matters as murder, hate, drug addiction, isolation, physical violence, etc but are delievered in beautifully delicate melodies, creating an intimate and somewhat chilling atmosphere for the listener.
