Recorded live 11/8/86, CBGB, NYC
Live Skull is an experimental rock band formed in New York City in the early 1980s. Their album “Don’t Get Any On You” was released in 1987, and it is considered one of their most acclaimed works.
The album features a mix of noisy, dissonant guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and haunting vocals, with a raw, unpolished production that captures the band’s live energy. The lyrics explore themes of isolation, desperation, and disconnection, often delivered in a stream-of-consciousness style that adds to the album’s overall sense of unease.
Despite its avant-garde tendencies, “Don’t Get Any On You” also displays a keen sense of melody and songcraft, with memorable hooks and choruses that make the songs both challenging and accessible. The album’s standout tracks include the haunting “She’s Like a Shot,” the propulsive “Don’t Get Any On You,” and the frenzied “Cloud One.”
Overall, “Don’t Get Any On You” is a powerful statement from a band that was pushing the boundaries of what rock music could be at the time. It remains a cult classic, and a testament to the enduring power of experimental music.
