Punk
Season 1Episode 130 min

Punk

For many, Punk is seen as a movement of two cities – London and New York, both eternally sparring for the title of The Originator. But Scotland had its own distinctive Punk movement which laid the groundwork for a musical ethos that is still alive and well in the scene today. Bands like The Rezillos and Scars created their own punk movement before most of them even knew what a punk movement was. In doing so, they infused the scene with a do it yourself attitude that the next generation of musicians embraced wholeheartedly, taking Scottish pop in a new but still resolutely rebellious direction – New Wave.

The 60s

The 60s was a crucial decade in pop music history. As it swung into life, bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones began to take over the world. This countercultural revolution was felt in Scotland too, as Beat groups such as The Poets and The Beatstalkers staked their claim on the scene. But it wasn't just mop-top popsters that Scotland was producing, it also nurtured proto superstars like Lulu and true artistic individuals such as Alex Harvey and John Martyn, who would push the boundaries of pop music in increasingly shouty and psychedelic ways.

Synthpop
Season 1Episode 330 min

Synthpop

The early 1980s was an extraordinarily rich and varied time for pop music. New technology was appearing, pushing the boundaries of what was sonically possible. At the forefront of this technological revolution was the synthesizer. Previously only affordable for the few, by the early 1980s synths were relatively cheap; and Scottish bands were buying.

From the pioneering early works of future stadium rockers Simple Minds, through the pop perfection of Altered Images, and into the weird and wonderful world of The Associates Scottish bands forged new ground in the early years of the decade, creating a lasting impression on the UK pop charts. They produced some of the best synth pop songs of all time - from Smalltown Boy to Sweet Dreams - and inspired generations to come.
