 Easterhouse weren't from Scotland at all, they were from Manchester 
IIRC. They certainly were loony lefties and did have some cracking 
songs ("Get Back To Russia"). They were led by two constantly 
fighting brothers and the guitar-wielding one was hailed as the next 
Johnny Marr. Which he was not.
