When former Skank drummer Steve Cochrane set up his record and poster store ‘The Revolution' he set about sorting through a mountain of rare posters and records he has collected from the 1980's onwards. Buried amongst this treasure trove he was amazed to discover 100 mint copies of the Skank Attack EP. In celebration of their small part in independent New Zealand music history the band have decided to distribute these for Record Store Day 2013. Record store day is a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally.
The EP was recorded at Wellington’s Frontier Studios by respected New Zealand music producer Nick Roughan. Roughan was a member of electronic pioneers The Skeptics and has produced recordings for dozens of NZ bands over the years, including Dimmer, The Adults and Die! Die! Die!. He regularly accompanied the Skank crew on national tours in the late 1980’s.
