My Take
Wattie Buchan is the kind of artist who feels less like a singer and more like a force of nature. As the voice of the Exploited, he turned raw Edinburgh anger into something durable, and that is harder than it looks. Punk eats its own and burns out fast, yet he has kept howling on the front line for decades without sanding down the edges. I admire that refusal to soften with age or trend. There is an honesty in his bluntness that I find compelling, and I think his longevity is proof that conviction, not polish, is what really lasts.
