Well, fuck you I'm going back to the well with some more Louisiana punk rock. This time we have <strong>The Skinnies</strong> from New Orleans. Their <em>Kill The Beat</em> 7" was released on 'Lectric Eye back in 1978, and has been given the the whole Killed/Hyped/Death treatment. <a href="http://www.collectorscum.com/volume3/south/">CollectorScum</a> calls it "Classic loser punk". Do you need anything else? Really, both of these tracks are excellent and deserve a listen. Anyone wanting to share info on the band is welcome to comment<br /><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://somethingilearned.com/skinnies/skinnies%20-%20im%20a%20dullard.mp3">Skinnies - I'm a Dullard.mp3</a><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://somethingilearned.com/skinnies/skinnies%20-%20out%20of%20order.mp3">Skinnies - Out of Control.mp3</a>Eric XXLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12005031279627032487noreply@blogger.com
