Swamptrash were a Scottish bluegrass/psychobilly band formed in 1987 in Edinburgh. They split in 1990 and several of the members went on to form Shooglenifty.[1] The band has been recognized as crucial to the development of experimental Scottish acoustic music.[2]

they really were a ramshackle and thoroughly enjoyable faux-punk string/bluegrass band who attacked new and old tunes with the verve and self-evident pleasure others heard in the Pogues
