Whats the connection between Skin Yard and C/Z?
The connection is with Daniel. Daniel owns and runs C/Z records and was also the Skin Yard bassist for six and a half of the seven years that Skin Yard was together. Appearing on the first four records as well as on all of the tracks on the new Start at the Top collection, Daniel wrote or co-wrote at least half of the music on those records. The first Skin Yard record was initially released on C/Z as it seemed that no one else was gonna step up to the plate…so the logic was, “what the hell…it can’t be that hard.” You’d be surprised to find out how many indie labels have had similar beginnings.
