Scared to Dance

Spearheading the Scottish punk explosion, the band's debut album masterfully combined raw aggression with incredibly grand, soaring musicality. The record is profoundly defined by Stuart Adamson's highly distinctive, bagpipe-imitating guitar style and Richard Jobson's dramatic, passionately declaimed vocals. The anthemic 'Into the Valley' became a massive hit, cementing the album as a crucial, uniquely Celtic contribution to the late-70s punk landscape.
