Youthful energy meets grizzly young manhood as we welcome these Edinburgh punks of fine pedigree to Dundee for the first time. From the ashes of our beloved young melodic punk rock hopes The Walking Targets come Bike Notes; older, wiser, still super hooky. The future could be beautiful.

COLDONES
First Dundee show from this brand new high-octane riot-starting melodic ska-punk three piece featuring well-heeled members of The Hijacks, Maxwell’s Dead, The Upstarts, Third Floor Incident and many more. Definitely a good idea to get those dancing shoes on.

ELK GANG
Edinburgh hardcore stalwarts smashing it out of the park of late return to Dundee to bring us their righteous pummelling melodic post-hardcore punk rock played with punch, pace and passion. On the most solid bands around, expect riffs and fists in the air.

GAY PANIC DEFENCE
Radical queercore punks from Kirkcaldy bring their riotous cavalcade back to Dundee after tearing up their first UK Tour. One of the raddest and most pro-active bands from the fertile Fife hardcore scene, we’re delighted to welcome these battle-ready troops to BYAF.

GONE WISHING
Caustic lo-fi acoustic ecossemo miserableness par excellence from the Cowpunk Family’s most stoic purveyour of beautiful guitar intricacies, splatterpainting storytelling and heartbreaking open tunings. A rare outing in 2017.
