kirkt Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I think this thread has gone on before but who do you think are the best punk bands in Scotland today? Mine are:1.The Declined: tell me their not the catchiest pop punk band in scotland today after listenin to their CD...go on...I dare you! everytime i see them ive got a stupid grin on my face cos their music just makes me happy2.Misled Youth: melodic hardcore with ska breakdowns...its just totally my kind of music. They should be massive.3. Atomgevitter: Atomic in yer face hardcore. Roddys best outfit yet.4. Swellbellys: Sing-a-long hardcore/street punk at its finest5. Shatterhand: Ace, melodic hardcore...like a faster Leatherface, with some top Husker Du style guitar lines. They'll drink you under the table too.other bands up there (from top of my head): Engage, The Fight Back, Tauntra ( i think their scottish anyway), Mutley, Captain Kate, Barefoot, Filthpact, State if Affairs, QuikI've still yet to see Today We Fight, The 44s and Social Insecurity, but ive got a good feeling bout all those bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psydoll Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 You might as well just include The Dangerfields.They're in the country often enough to qualify I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 All my fave Scottish punk bands have either broken up, or I'm too ashamed to say I once liked them (ahem)Best have included Scatha, Quarantine, Newtown Grunts, Oi Polloi, Bloodshot! "and whether you like it or not" Eradicate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain44s Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I've still yet to see Today We Fight' date=' The 44s [/quote']funny you should say that....The 44s + Today We Fight + Guests....31st may, bar bloc glasgow. sorry for the shameless hijacking.my fav scottish punk band is Contra by a long way. Awesome songs and tight as hell. lets hope they come back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'm gonna have to say my band Genevieve:www.myspace.com/genevieveukWe have a couple of songs up, buth of which are pop punk gems.I also like Quik and At Long Last certainly have the potential to get some decent exposure. As for bands from outside Aberdeen, PMX are pretty good as are Shatterhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"and whether you like it or not" Eradicate [/quote']if i mentioned all bands i really liked, defunct ones as well, id have to include Disaffect, Sedition, Scatha, Oi Polloi, The Process, Fastard, Social Insecurity, Afterbirth, EatYerGreens, The Fighting Cougars and Ruptured Spleen. But my fav are Atomgevitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'm sure The 44's and Misled Youth will live up to my expectations of them live. Based on the mp3 recently[ish] posted by Powdermonkey they'll be pretty damn entertaining aussi.I'll go for Filthpact, Atomgevitter, Karloff, Shatterhand and Swellbellys methinks if I'm allowed to include my own interpretation of punk. I have a hit and miss liking for The Declined live and was impressed with Mutley at the GFN? gig they played recently as a side note.

Dan G Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'd say Megadeth.They're not from Scotland and they don't play punk but other than that they're ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
