Looking through the name list just shows how poor scottish music is. Most of them i havent heard of, the rest you wouldnt buy their music or watch them in concert. So so poor yet the way people are mentioning them you,d think they were good.

But they are good to them personally, just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they are poor, music is a personal thing

The ones you haven't heard of you should give a try.

All about personal taste but yes the vast majority of bands mentioned here are not my cup of tea at all.
