Has anyone heard of them?


Plus, it mentions reasons for gig violence diminishing because of ''disbanding of some of the bigger skinhead gangs:''

Rattlesnacks.
Nun Attacks.
Scum.
Skullcaps.
F Troop.
Feet First.
Black Catholics.

Any info on these too?

I've only ever heard of the Black Cathoilcs. There's a thread on the forum at the moment about them.

The only other band I've heard of there are Nun Attacks.
I can't open pdf files for some reason,but is that an old MRR scene report?

Yeah, Maximum Rock and Roll issue 12, March 1984.

Were Nun Attacks a band or a ''skinhead gang''? Or a bit of both?

Cork punk(or post punk depending who you ask) band. skinheads? very much doubt it

 

[Vin]

skinheads? very much doubt it

Just going from what the article says.

It implies that they were one of a list of ''skinhead gangs'' who disbanded recently.

Thee's a band here called Scum Of The Earth too. http://www.irishrock.org/ipnw/s.html


That's all I could find. Pretty handy site.

The zine archive on the operation phoenix site is a great resource. A similar online archive for Irish fanzines would be very welcome, especially the older ones which are hard to track down . . . I wish I could say I have a large pile of old zines waiting to be scanned but I don't, just a few things, but I'd be willing to make PDFs if someone can host them and others are willing to do the same??? They can be a great source of information but they sell for stupid prices on ebay now.

This Nazi Punk song is amazing:

Not the Nine O Clock News rules! Most of their songs are amazing actually. Check out the ska one and the truckers one if there's links to that on there.

Ah fuck that, it was working a minute ago. Just search on YouTube for "Not the Nine O Clock News Nazi" sure and it should come up.

I seriously doubt that Nun Attax were nazis.

I seriously doubt that Nun Attax were nazis.

must be some other crowd. there's no way nun attax could've been mistaken for skinheads or nazis. on the topic of nun attax, there's a deadly documentary on giordai ua laoghaire here ...

Abnormal used to practice in my old dears garage.

That dude says Abnormal were a racist band which they may well have been although I'm not so sure.There was'nt much point in being a racist in coolock in the early 80's.There was only white doley heads in the gaf for a start.I'm gonna have to make some inquiries about this.
