Shanghai

Shanghai is a 2026 single from Scout Coast, the indie-rock quartet from Falkirk, Scotland, formed in 2025. A guitar-pop track in the lane of Catfish and the Bottlemen and Circa Waves, it runs a shade over three minutes.

The song follows a character named Jenny who leaves for Shanghai chasing her ambition, with the emotional hook landing in the bridge: the family who miss her but cannot deny she is doing well. It is bright, hook-seeking new-wave indie from a young Scottish band making an early mark.
