What can I say, except that I really like these guys. This is one of those bands that really helps define the Knoxville scene. Their lazy '77 style music has attracted quite a following.
The Skudz have recently released an LP titled "Think For Yrself". Maximum Rock and Roll has said that this may easily be the best punk album of the year. The Skudz appear to really respect authority, and are quite the moralistic role models. Actually they are quite the opposite with song titles like "I Love Cops", "Hate the Police", "8 Hours in Jail", and "I Came On You". Who needs role models these days anyways. Why don't you just "Think for Yrself" and go buy the fucking album?
Here's a sound clip of my favorite Skudz song, which by the way sounds suspiciously familiar to the Malignmen song Wetwork. Little Girl has been around a bit longer, so it seems even the Malignmen need their fix of the Skudz.
