Cold Dead Hands Presents...
Atomgeviter (Glasgow/Fife/Germany)
The return of Scotland's thrash uber-lords. Fast hardcore with rock breakdowns, like DS13, Career Suicide and Drop Dead throwing stones at Black Sabbath's green house. Rare Edinburgh gig, as they can't play too much as their guitarist now lives in Germany, so take this chance to see one of the finest hardcore bands Scotland's produced in an age.

DuckXstab (Leeds)
You wait a year for a DuckXstab gig, and two come along at once... well, in the space of a month. Our previous description still holds- crazy hardcore from Leeds, ex-Broken Access, Losing The Battle etc. Kind of like a mix of Black Flag, Born Against and a bit of d-beat thrown in for good measure.

The Fight Back (Falkirk)
Melodic, old school hardcore, much like Champion, Faded Grey, American Nightmare etc, catchy riffs and raw throated vocals. Have chalked up a fair few gigs round the country, but this is only their second Edinburgh show.
Who'd have thought small town Scotland would be producing so many good bands?
