Another grunge metal classic! Gruntruck’sbloodlines were impeccable; the band wasfounded (where else?) in Seattle by twomembers of the pioneering grunge band SkinYard, vocalist Ben McMillan and drummerNorman Scott. While in Skin Yard, Scott alsobriefly joined Soundgarden, and collaboratedwith Chris Cornell on a lesser-known band,the low frequency power trio Bass Truck. Leadguitarist Tommy Niemeyer from metal thrashersThe Accüsed and bassist Tim Paul, previouslyof PDX hardcore punks Final Warning, roundedout the initial, classic line-up, which is whatyou hear on this 1992 record, which wasproduced by the band and fellow ex-Skin Yardmember (and go-to grunge producer)Jack Endino. Previously released on vinylonly in Europe and Brazil (!), originalcopies of Push are virtually impossibleto find, which is too bad; this recordoffered a mesmerizing mix of atonalriffage and hooky tunes like the single“Tribe.” This is its first-ever domestic vinylrelease, and we’re giving it a real “Push”;we’ve added two never-on-LP tracks(“Crucifunkin’” and “Flesh Fever”) that the band recorded in between the sessions for Pushand their first album, Inside Yours, and expanded the release to a killer 2-LP set (sequencedand partly remastered by Jack Endino himself) housed inside a gatefold jacket with twoprinted inner sleeves featuring memorabilia. Clear with opaque red and yellow swirl vinyl,limited to 2500 copies, exclusive for Record Store Day!
