Squirrel Bait II

Unfortunately I don't have any live sets from these guys. And if anyone out there does have any, I know me, earthdog, and many others would love to hear them. So since I can't give you a live set , I'll give you their second record. Like I mentioned in the previous post, Skag Heaven was released in 1987 on Homestead Records. A great follow-up album in the same vein as their first. Many great songs.This used to be up at The Commercial Zone, but the link is no longer available.

I also did some more searching around & came across their 1984 demos + a 1987 interview at Shitegeist. Great Stuff. Another thing I found was this song by a band called Motorola Cloudburst. Supposedly this is Squirrel Bait under a different name. Check out the story & the song at The Punk Vault. Is sure does sound like Searcy's voice & Grubbs' guitar. Enjoy all the Squirrel Bait!

Squirrel Bait

Here's a great band from Louisville, Kentucky. Squirrel Bait released their first 8 song E.P. on Homestead records in 1985. Great melodic punk with plenty of hooks. Definite Husker Du & Naked Raygun influences. Pegboy comes to mind, although I do like these guys more. Cover art done by Steve Albini. Their second record Skag Heaven was released in 1987 on Homestead as well.
