Best three bands to emerge from Scotland.

[Teed]

Fuckin hell, when you look at these lists, there haven't been many.

Aye, but Scotland's a bit like the north east and Ireland, normally people have to leave to make it, very rare for bands to form in their area and become successful, loads of individuals that are great at what the do though.

There’s some canny bands coming out of Glasgow at the moment, such as Catholic Action and Heavy Rapids to name a few. But I think you’re right about them needing to move down South to make it.

 

[Ludwig]

Alex Harvey band.

Average White band

The Krankies
