Skids and The Membranes

Skids, formed in Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1977, are known for their art-punk style. Key members included vocalist Richard Jobson and guitarist Stuart Adamson. They gained fame with hits like "Into the Valley" and "Masquerade." Produced by Bill Nelson, their second album Days in Europa was well-received. After lineup changes and disbandment, they reunited in 2007 for tribute shows. The original lineup re-formed for a 2017 tour, releasing the album Burning Cities in 2018.

From Manchester, The Membranes pioneered dark, bass-driven post-punk in the ’80s, collaborating with Steve Albini. Their 2019 comeback album, "What Nature Gives...Nature Takes Away," was critically acclaimed. They've influenced acts like Napalm Death and My Bloody Valentine, and toured with Sonic Youth, Mercury Rev, and Mark Lanegan.
