Nyah Fearties built up a loyal cult following from the late eighties until their demise in 1995 mainly due to their crazy live shows. It was often hard to believe how a band that used acoustic instruments could make so much noise, and the speed at which they played often approached meltdown! Their music was an original blend of chaotic sound played on acoustic instruments and "found" percussion! Although often classed as a folk/punk crossover, in their early days their sound was more feedback driven thrash, than anything resembling traditional Scottish folk!!!!!
