In London, Punk was an art movement.

In Scotland, it was a visceral scream.

In 1977, four skinny kids with nothing to lose and everything to gain exploded onto the music scene.

They were the real deal: feral, self-educated, angry with pent-up rage against economic destruction and their lost future. Their music reflected who they were: mighty, Celtic and fierce. A revolutionary spirit grounded in a Scotland of old.

Lionised by a Radio 1 DJ, the Skids grabbed their chance. Their music flew through the 70s and early 80s influencing global bands like U2, Simple Minds and Green Day, until one day it all fell apart.

Then, in 2016, something extraordinary happened.

This is the story.

Of revolution, resolution and rebirth, not nostalgia.

Punk is not an age, it’s a state of mind.
