Scotland's Country Teasers play a harsh yet artful style of post-punk with nods to industrial and country music. Musical comparisons include“avant garage” bands like the Fall and Royal Trux, inept/genius musicianship a la the Shaggs or Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Pussy Galore’s collisionof roots and industrial music, and mischievous d.i.y. experimentalism in the vein of Butthole Surfers, Sun City Girls, the Residents, and ShimmyDisk era Ween.
