about

Punk-funk/indie pioneers from Mid-Armagh, Shuck quickly made a name for themselves with energetic performances notable for their colourful suits stitched together from dayglo fertiliser bags and on-stage antics inspired by abuse of beefnuts and the huffing of sheepdip fumes. While the band never really progressed beyond their rural NI roots they did receive brief notoriety for the inclusion on an NME ‘C87’ cassette of their controversial anthem ‘Whitewash Asbestos Whitewash’. The band split in 1989 after hideosuly ironic tragedy befell singer Clarty, while playing on a platform made from a cattle grid suspended over a trough full of his beloved sheepdip.
