Official Description:
Crewe’s very own BABY SILVERSKINS shoot out of the traps like the raw, bastard-offspring of early Snuff in an occasional, chance meeting with the Minutemen/Firehose, with a compilation of everything they recorded back in the day, or the early -90s to you and us. And if it doesn’t have you throwing yourself round your bedroom, screaming with joy and punching the air, whilst singing ‘wo-oh-oh-oh’ at the top of your lungs to ‘New Girl’, or if the verse to ‘Almost Sad’ doesn’t send shivers down your spine, and that’s BEFORE you’ve even heard the chorus, we hereby pronounce you well and truly dead from the waist up. The Skins, as they are affectionately known around these parts, formed in 1991, touring the UK in an old Citroen 2CV playing with the likes of Bracket, Snuff, The Queers, Avail, Rugrat, Broccoli, Hooton 3 Car, Chopper and various Manchester bands, before splitting up in 1996. The record contains six tracks from a 1993 demo cassette, which have never been released until now, plus four tracks from their only vinyl release, a split single with Pigpile, masquerading under the snappy title of ‘The Dangerous Bourgeois Leanings Of El Quados Mon Hados’. We even add two moody unreleased instrumentals, one of which strays into Fugazi territory.
