Formed in Dunfermline in 1977, Scottish art-punk band Skids is known for anthemic guitar riffs and chanted choruses. Their 1979 debut LP Scared to Dance featured the UK Top Ten hit Into the Valley. Following several line-up changes and albums like Joy and Burning Cities, the band continued releasing albums, including Destination Düsseldorf and early studio demos.

Spear Of Destiny

Formed by Kirk Brandon and Stan Stammers from Theatre of Hate, Spear of Destiny broke through with Outland and its hits “Stranger in Our Town,” “Never Take Me Alive,” and “The Traveller,” and toured with U2 at Wembley in 1987.
