SKIDS
The Skids, formed in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1977, remain one of the defining voices of British post-punk. Known for their anthemic blend of jagged guitars, martial rhythms, and politically charged lyrics, they broke through with hits like Into the Valley and The Saints Are Coming. Fronted by Richard Jobson’s commanding vocals and the late Stuart Adamson’s (Big Country) innovative guitar work, the band earned both critical acclaim and a devoted following. Despite lineup changes over the decades, The Skids continue to play with the same passion and energy that first set them apart—and impressively, they are still touring today.
Lacross Club
LACROSS CLUB is a dynamic and energetic punk band that originated in the coastal town of Tenby, Wales. The group came together during their studies, quickly finding a shared passion for raw, high-energy punk rock. Now based in Bristol, Lacross Club has firmly established itself within the UK’s vibrant underground scene, performing at renowned venues across the country. Their electrifying live shows have taken them nationwide, and they’re back again to captivate audiences with their infectious sound. With a blend of fierce riffs, catchy rhythms, and rebellious energy, they’re a must-see for anyone who loves punk music with a modern twist.
