Gruntruck – Inside Yours – Cassette

Inside Yours is the debut album by the American grunge rock band Gruntruck, released in 1990. Gruntruck emerged from the vibrant Seattle grunge scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, alongside bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains.

Singer/guitarist Ben McMillan began his career as the frontman for seminal Seattle grunge band Skin Yard, which cranked out four albums during his six-year tenure, and included future producer and alternative rock linchpin Jack Endino (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, et al.) on guitar.

In 1990, he drafted ex-Skin Yard drummer Norman Scott, guitarist Tom Niemeyer, and bassist Tim Paul to form Gruntruck. The band’s sound treaded much of the same post-punk/metal hybrid which was then common to the Seattle scene, and their counterpoint guitars and minor chords were especially reminiscent of Soundgarden.

As such, signing with straight-ahead metal label Roadrunner may have been a strategic mistake, as both 1991’s Inside Yours and 1992’s Push seemed to get lost in the shuffle of the alternative explosion, and the band split soon after.

Inside Yours showcases Gruntruck’s heavy and aggressive sound, characterized by distorted guitars, powerful riffs, and gritty vocals. The album combines elements of grunge, alternative metal, and hard rock, resulting in a dynamic and intense listening experience.

Notable tracks from the album include “Tribe,” “Crazy Love,” and the title track “Inside Yours.” These songs display Gruntruck’s ability to blend driving rhythms with catchy melodies, while also exploring darker and heavier sonic territories.

While Inside Yours didn’t achieve the same level of commercial success as some of their Seattle peers, it received positive reviews from critics and has gained a dedicated following over the years. The album represents an important part of the grunge movement, highlighting the raw and powerful sound that emerged from the Pacific Northwest during that era.

Inside Yours is recommended for fans of grunge rock and for those interested in discovering lesser-known bands from the Seattle scene. It embodies the spirit of the era and showcases Gruntruck’s contribution to the grunge genre.
