MUSK was an idea long before it was a real band. Ringleader CHRIS OWEN and punker scribe MITCH CARDWELL had the notion of starting an Aberrant records-style band—hairy knuckled Oz punk with very few chord changes—called Musk. A few years later in 2011, Chris ran into ROB FLETCHER at the Bottom Of The Hill for feedtime’s first US show. They lamented the total lack of any malevolent garage punk in the Bay Area. Rob brought his ex-bandmate JOHN and this guy BRENDAN from his Cramps cover band aboard for upcoming rehearsals. Other names considered during these early practices were Merle Dirt and well, something we’d prefer not turn up in every review of this album. Despite learning no less than four other bands were currently operating under the Musk moniker, it was decided to use it anyways. The Aberrant punk idea gave way to more of a Beasts Of Bourbon/Panther Burns concept after their first year or so together prior to Musk recording a widely hailed debut LP with CHRIS WOODHOUSE in two days, but Second Skumming was completed in a decadent four. You could say they’ve grown or matured, but YOU’D BE MISTAKEN. Like all great sequels (“The Godfather II”, “Bring It On : All Or Nothing”, “Eddie & The Cruisers II : Eddie Lives”) Musk 2 amplifies and expands on themes that made Musk a favorite amongst misanthrobes & collector skum alike and does so with laser-like focus.
