Rodeo Terrorists have unveiled their new single, ‘Saltire (Tartan Army),’ a vibrant anthem that pays homage to the passionate culture of Scottish football. This spirited track not only celebrates the Tartan Army but also encapsulates the strong connection music can foster among communities.
Leading the charge is Richard, a 55-year-old English IT manager turned DIY music creator. With a rich history that includes building websites for pop legends like Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, Richard has transformed his lifelong fascination with Scotland into a labor of love through music. His new release showcases a commitment to crafting an anthemic tribute that combines Celtic influences with electronic flair.

Created almost spontaneously in just 30 minutes during a break at work, ‘Saltire (Tartan Army)’ has been described as a crossover between the folk sounds of The Waterboys and the anthemic spirit of New Order’s iconic “World In Motion.” The result is a catchy track laden with terrace-ready hooks and a sense of humor that mirrors the competitive thrill of football, fostering an infectious camaraderie among fans.
Beyond the infectious energy of the anthem, the single carries a profound message. Richard aims to raise awareness for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), dedicating the song to a close friend who succumbed to the illness. Proceeds from the track will benefit MND Scotland, merging entertainment with a cause that resonates deeply.
Listeners can now dive into ‘Saltire (Tartan Army)’ and revel not only in its catchy melodies but also in its socially-conscious undercurrents. With future releases on the horizon, Richard is set to blend his technical prowess with artistic vision, promising exciting developments for fans of heartfelt and energetic music. This latest offering establishes ‘Saltire (Tartan Army)’ as a potential classic, ready to stir the hearts of Scottish football supporters and resonate throughout the stands for years to come.
