Review and info:
What a comeback! After falling apart for a year Skin Yard came back with a new drummer and an awesome record. Some highlits..."1000 Smiling Knuckles", "Psychorifle- powerhypnotized","Burn a Hole", well, all of the songs. It was released in fall '91 on Cruz CR-0017 on vinyl and CD, recorded winter '90/'91 on a two-inch Otari MX-80 at 15 ips with no noise reduction. It was their most successfull record by that time and the band was very happy with the whole thing, especially by being totally functional after all the things that took place after recording "Fist Sized Chunks". But, Dan left the band in March that year(he became a dad) and was replaced by Pat Pedersen. So, the band toured a lot, also went for a European tour, playing gigs in places like Bergen, Norway and Ljubljana, Slovenia(with all the war going on just a 100 miles from there).
