This a site dedicated to the madness that comes from five guys from Glasgow and their various musical incarnations. From a very young age Herman,Clyne,Donnie,Merry & Stevie new they were destined for musical obscurity and did'nt give a toss-their motto being "what me! worried?".  Their "fuck-off" attitude grew in tune with the detuning of the guitars that banged out their punk/metal/blues/ambient/scrotum tearing style of playing.  Anyone who saw/sees them playing always (& still does)left with their ears bleeding and begging for Mercy (now there was a truly great band). The present fun-time  incarnation has been together for a number of years & is called 'The Brilliants' the latest recorded material, called 'Burning The Edge' is full of punk metal greats such as 'asexual people'& ' yeah, motherfucker!'. In the past the boys have been members of bands such The Monday Club, Drunken' Donuts, Fairlie 2/3/4/5, The OddMen, Damp House & OzCab 5. Clyne &  Herman also have two other  projects  named: The Voodoo Skins  & (VSkins). & Crowfly
