Valiant VInyl - Issue #4

Skin Yard / Loveslug Split 7" (1991)


This is the Skin Yard / Loveslug split, from… well I don’t really know when. It was recorded in early 1991, so I’m going to assume it at 1991, or 1992 at the least.

The Skin Yard track, a live version of Psychoriflepowerhypnotized from 1000 Smiling Knuckles is really raunchy sounding, but it’s good. It has this raw quality that, unfortunately, you don’t hear all that often anymore.

Loveslug, a band I know nothing about, presents “Loser Bar”, which is a good little rock song. It sounds as if it were definitely influenced by what was happening around Seattle a few years prior. I do know that Loveslug is European, so they probably heard all the Sub Pop stuff before we even knew it existed.
