Skids and Spear Of Destiny

Scottish art-punk band Skids, formed in Dunfermline in 1977, featured Richard Jobson and Stuart Adamson. Known for "Into the Valley," they hit the U.K. Top Ten. They released albums like Scared to Dance and Days in Europa. Jobson went solo, later joining Armoury Show. The band reunited in 2007 and 2017, releasing Burning Cities in 2018.

Spear of Destiny, formed by Kirk Brandon and Stan Stammers, emerged from Theatre of Hate. Known for hits like "Never Take Me Alive," they toured with U2 and faced lineup changes and setbacks, notably due to Brandon's health issues. Despite struggles, they released popular albums like Outland and continued to evolve, incorporating members like Marco Pirroni. They've toured consistently and produced key releases, including Morning Star and Imperial Prototype. Brandon's work is showcased in the Kirk Brandon Anthology.
