Deodato Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) #latetotheparty Why, oh why, has it taken till June 2021 to recognise the Silencers Letter of St Paul as one of the greatest albums in Scottish rock history. I am literally hooked on every single tune - all killer, no filler. I mean this band have got it - rhythm rock, playing off one another - songs that write themselves as they are so tight. Did anyone see them live? More over is anyone going to see them live this summer in Linlithgow lockdown permitting?

been here before Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Great album, one of my favourites. Still got the original vinyl in the loft. A pricey album to get your mitts on these days. Still listen to it a fair bit, last time was just a couple of weeks ago. Gods Gift is a tune and the title track in the form of a letter is unusual but also excellent. Their subsequent albums were nowhere near it though both A Blues for Budha and Dance To The Holy Man did have their moments. Might chuck it on later.

The Mighty Thor Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Saw them at the Cav many many years ago. They also supported Simple Minds with Texas at Meadowbank in the late 80s. I still listen to a Blues for Bhudda a lot. Scottish rain is a great track with a brilliant bass hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I saw them at Meadowbank and the Network. Haven't actually listened to them in years, but they were excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Saw them support the Alarm mid/late 80s at the Playhouse. Great band and it was a time when Scotland produced a lot of great bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
