THE Shetland Isles are known for many things - ponies and sweaters amongst them - but punk rock is not one of them.
In fact, Shetland trio Bacchus, who formed six years ago, claim to be the only punk rock band in the whole of the Isles.
The band, who cite Anti-Nowhere League, the English Dogs and the Ramones as influences, are currently preparing to record their debut album and tour across Europe.
They play the Blue Boar, on Deansgate, on May 29. For more information, visit myspace.com/bacchus3.
