Skabs- CONTENT album now reissued for digital

Hungry Eye is happy to announce they've made the long out of print album "CONTENT" by veteran NY band the Skabs available in digital format. Available in very limited quantities as a split 12" in a hand screened sleeve, CONTENT is considered by many to be the band's finest hour.



The Skabs - Content



The Skabs hailed from all boroughs of NY and started in the punk scene on the Lower East Side in pre-Guiliani New York, packing in shows at clubs like ABC No Rio, CBGB's, and Coney Island High alongside the bands of that era. Though they appeared one of the popular "Punk Uprising" compilations alongside Anti-Flag, the Bouncing Souls, Kill Your Idols, and H2O, and toured the United States numerous times, their recorded output remained scarce. They eventually opted for a more post-punk sound, broke up in 2001 and posthumously because a bit of cult-commodity. Old fans and interested new-comers will be happy to find the remastered version of CONTENT with some additional bonus tracks never before released.
