McLusky - You Should Be Ashamed Seamus

McLusky have been one of my favourite bands of the last 5 years. It was sad news to hear they split up last year. I had seen them play live 5 or 6 times over the years as they started out locally. I first saw them supporting Gallon Drunk and after the performance annoyed the hell out of them telling 'em how good I thought they were. I'd often track Andy Falkous the singer down after their gigs and have a good old chin wag with him. I'm looking forward to hearing his new project when it materialises.

The band's reputation grew and grew. It went from being able to see the stage at their gigs to having to stand at the back behind the mass of bopping youngsters. Capturing that essential live McLusky feeling (lots of guitar tuning then screaming thrashing hardcore) we have a video from one of their US tours and a track off their third and final LP The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire. Featuring one of my favourite lines from all the tracks on the LP, 'Born in Cardiff, raised by wolves.' Love that, love this.
