The brothers are not Scottish, think it was the bass player Frankie Poulain or something like that anyway.

Hands down its Primal Scream. Followed by Simple Minds and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

But there are f£@kin' dozens of brilliant bands out there that don't get the breaks. They write and perform some of the best music that you'll hear but you do t hear it because they're not famous or had the breaks.

Spot on. There was a local band to me about twenty years ago called baby chaos who were brilliant. They were signed but didn't make it too big. Think they're trying a comeback now though.
