Skin Yard




Skin Yard, 1986 (1990 reissue)
Hallowed Ground, 1988
Fist Sized Chunks, 1990
1000 Smiling Knuckles, 1991
Inside The Eye, 1993
Skin Yard had a common point with Adrenalin OD: Nirvana opened for them. However Skin Yard had the legendary Jack Endino on guitar, who produced Bleach and the Insecticide demos (and some of the Accüsed albums, and he remixed some Holy Terror for the El Revengo release, among many other sonic production stunts - that was a decade when I would buy a record just because it was recorded by Jack Endino). Also Skin Yard seemed to have been a prolific drummer boot camp (for Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Presidents of the US and other big names). But Skin Yard never really made it on the commercial level, although their albums are full of excellent hard rock of the Seattle sort (yes, the word "grunge" should be typed here, but Skin Yard had much more class and personality than the subsequent average Nirvana clone). Great heavy rock songs with excellent singing and a psychedelic buzz, very nice after a week-end replaying all the Razor albums!
CD rip.
ps: Razor kick major ass!!!! Amazing show!!!

Skin Yard CD:
Tracks 1 to 8 are from the self-titled album excluding "Burning The Candle".
Tracks 9 and 10 are from the Bleed / Gelatin Babies single.
Tracks 11 to 15 are never before released songs.
