Time for another trip down memory lane - or a history lesson if you were a child of the 90s and beyond.
While we’ve taken a look at some of those memorable Scottish acts that permeated the airwaves and our eardrums during the decade of the 90s, we have heard you all loud and clear - what about something a little earlier?
Well, how about the 1980s?
A formative year for music, with the rise of new wave, post-punk, hip-hop and the tail end of the punk movement, a rather large number of musicians who cut their teeth as part of various local scenes in Scotland would go on to form several acts that we still herald to this day; from Shirley Manson’s early musical escapades before Garbage, through to the bands that ended up joining together to form Teenage Fanclub.
Here’s our 15 picks of bands from Scotland that formed or gained prominence throughout the 1980s, from old favourites to some even we had forgotten about.
9. Josef K (Edinburgh)
A post-punk band from Edinburgh, Josef K was a key part of the Scottish independent music scene in the early 1980s. Known for its tense, angular sound and poetic, intellectual lyrics, the band was a favourite of critics and had a significant cult following. Though their career was brief, their influence on a generation of indie and post-punk bands is highly regarded. | Domino Records
10. The Soup Dragons (Bellshill, North Lanarkshire)
This band was formed in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, and had a career that evolved dramatically throughout the 1980s. Starting as a jangly indie rock act, they later transitioned into the psychedelic and dance-infused "baggy" sound of the late 80s and early 90s. They are best remembered for their globally successful cover of 'I’m Free.' | Martyn Goodacre/Getty Images
11. The Shamen (Aberdeen)
Formed in Aberdeen in 1985, The Shamen began as a psychedelic rock band before transitioning into a hugely successful and pioneering rave and electronic dance act. Their music evolved from guitar-based psych-pop to dancefloor anthems, making them a defining part of the late '80s and early '90s UK dance scene with hit singles like 'Ebeneezer Goode' and their critically acclaimed album En-Tact. | Glyn Howells/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
12. Fire Engines (Edinburgh)
A post-punk and funk-inspired band from Edinburgh, Fire Engines were known for their minimalist, rhythmic, and unconventional sound. Though they had a short career in the early 1980s, they were highly respected in the Scottish underground scene for their energetic and raw live shows. Their chaotic sound and avant-garde style left a lasting impact on many independent artists who followed. | Discogs
