No Mean City

Nazareth

A heavy, twin-guitar assault defined by Dan McCafferty's legendary rasp. Gritty Scottish hard rock that flirts with early heavy metal and urban cynicism.

1978 · A&M Records

A relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from Celtic acoustic strumming to heavy electric stomping on May the Sunshine.
The relentless, circular guitar riff of Simple Solution that feels like a factory machine in motion.
Dan McCafferty's throat-shredding delivery on the repetitive climax of Claim to Fame.
