I spent a lot of time in 2024 listening to a large number of early Sub Pop 7"s. It was an interesting journey, which got me checking out lots of bands I had never heard before. Some of them I knew that I would check out further in time, one of which was Skin Yard after I enjoyed their 'Start At The Top' 7".
I recently played that 7" again and then went straight to the internet to see whether I could find any more of their records for sale. I ende up picking their third LP from 1990, 'Fist Sized Chunks', for two reasons. Firstly, because it was on colour vinyl, and secondly because it was relatively cheap, and thirdly because it was in the UK.
As I mentioned in my last post about this band, they had Jack Endino on guitar, who is somewhat of a legend in the Seattle grunge scene of the late 80s / early 90s, and who has spent most of his life recording & producing other records (including Nirvana's 'Bleach'). This record right here is a very typical grunge sounding record, and sounds a hell of a lot like Soundgarden. Really good stuff and I'm really keen to check out more of their catalogue at some point
