Hailing from Edinburgh in Jockland, Archbishop Kebab were a very strange brew indeed. Their particular melting pot combined a confrontational anarcho-punk perspective with a sound that's half The Ex, half Gogol Bordello and half crusty new-age traveller skank. Beyond that, you'd probably have to invent a new genre, although you could also add the Dog Face Hermans to it as they share a similar oddball approach to the whole kaboodle. AK were around for quite a few years but I never got the chance to see them (or find any more of their vinyl output, hint hint). Which is a shame 'cos they sound like they'd really kick up the dust live. Still, this record manages to put a very big grin on my face whenever I play it. There's a good chance you'll find it does the same to you too.
OP's opinion: @@@@
heard this lot on Peel years ago, and apart from 1 track on a 1-in-12 comp, never heard or saw anything by them, so huge thanks for this

Anarcho-punk mix between Gogol Bordello and The Ex?! I just about shat myself, haha.
Thanks a bunch for this one, I've never heard of this band before. Cheers!

Excellent band live, I saw them twice when I was 14 back in Edinburgh. At least one of the best gigs of my life at the old Music Box.
Ta very much!

Hey Old Punk,
I thought you might like to hear that I've brought Land Speed Sonic back to the blogosphere… I see that you're in need of some more Kebab so I've just posted their second album "Beyond Ma Ken" for your listening pleasure.
Hope all's well with you and yours
All the best
Rod.

Thank you very much for this meticulously ripped LP, you Old Punk!!!
I'll allow myself enough freedom to type my wish list for 2010: more Scots! – Badgewearer: anything except TYFYC album or Dawson: Terminal Island. They are all out of print. I'd be grateful if you have these records in your collections and you are willing to … HNY!

Sadly, I don't have anything by either band (and Badgewearer are new to me). I'll ask around and see what I can find.
As for more Scots, it's fairly thin on the ground in my pile of vinyl – a bit of pagan hardcore, a healthy dose of Oi Polloi and a smidgeon of AOA. I'll see what I can dig out when I next rummage through it.
Cheers n' beers
