Kassidy are a Scottish alternative folk rock band. The band consists of Hamish Fingland (vocals, guitar), Lewis Andrew (vocals, guitar, accordion, keyboard) and Chris Potter (vocals, guitar). The band was formed in late 2009 in Glasgow.
The quartet met through friends' bands and fortunate pub encounters. Kassidy began writing and recording their music in a share house, which they later converted to a personal studio. They released three EP's, the second entitled The Rubbergum EP Volume 2 on 16 August 2010.
To follow their EPs, Kassidy released their debut album, Hope St. on 23 May 2011.
They released their second album, One Man Army on 30 April 2012.
The band toured along with Lana Del Rey from April 3, 2013 to May 31, 2013 on her Paradise tour in Europe.
On April 8, 2013 the band released their EP album called "People Like Me" on iTunes.
Barrie-James O'Neill has now left the band and has adopted the stage name Nightmare Boy.
