The Dunts are set to play a sold-out headliner show at Stereo on Friday 25th January. Embodying a true punk spirit, the headline hometown show is a DIY fundraiser show ahead of their appearance at esteemed American music event SXSW. Widely known for packing out and decimating live venues throughout the city – The Priory, Broadcast, King Tuts – the Glaswegian quartet promise a show unlike any other.

The Dunts won Best Newcomer at 2018’s Scottish Alternative Music Awards after a breakthrough year which saw the young four-piece sell out notable local venues, including King Tuts.

The Dunts are Rab Smith, David McFarlane, Colin McGachy and Kyle McGhee.

Their self-released EPs ‘Not Working Is Class’ and ‘Self Proclaimed Council Punk’ were produced by Chris Marshall (Gerry Cinnamon, Rascalton, The Van-T’s) and Johnny Madden (Baby Strange), recorded at 7 West Studios.
