Biography

Scud Mountain Boys is an American alternative country band. Formed in 1991 in Northampton, Massachusetts, it originally comprised [a257197], [a594875], [a1956359] and [a733497]. [a594875] left the band and was replaced by [a741942] in October 1996. Initially known as the Scuds, the group's early work was more rock-oriented. However, sat around Tull's kitchen table every night playing acoustic country tunes, they chose to move into this musical direction. This culminated in the Scud Mountain Boys bringing the table to a concert and playing while sitting down, a move which was enthusiastically received. The band released three albums before disbanding in 1997: [url=https://www.discogs.com/master/1577954-Scud-Mountain-Boys-Pine-Box]Pine Box[/url] (1995), [url=https://www.discogs.com/release/2470781-Scud-Mountain-Boys-Dance-The-Night-Away]Dance The Night Away[/url] (1995) and [url=https://www.discogs.com/master/87361-Scud-Mountain-Boys-Massachusetts]Massachusetts[/url] (1996). Massachusetts was their first for the [l77343] label, and upon signing they negotiated for the re-release of their first two albums. [url=https://www.discogs.com/release/384400-Scud-Mountain-Boys-The-Early-Year]The Early Year[/url] was released in 1997, a two CD set of slightly reordered versions of Pine Box and Dance The Night Away. Continuing the association with Sub Pop, principal songwriter Joe Pernice went on to form the more pop/rock-oriented band [a257198]. Pernice, Shea and Desaulniers reunited for an impromptu performance in Cambridge in August 2011, before plans for a full reunion of the original Scud Mountain Boys lineup were announced in January 2012. Social networking sites confirmed the involvement of Pernice, Desaulniers, Tull and Shea for the upcoming shows. The band's fourth album, [url=https://www.discogs.com/master/575780-Scud-Mountain-Boys-Do-You-Love-The-Sun]Do You Love The Sun[/url] was released in 2013, and featured all original members (Pernice, Desaulniers, Tull and Shea) with Padellaro as producer and recording engineer. [url=https://www.discogs.com/release/5710311-Scud-Mountain-Boys-The-Early-Year]The Early Year[/url] compilation was also re-released the same year on [l311] Records.

LYRICS

I didn't sleep last night
I didn't sleep the night before
I'm pretty wound tight

I couldn't empty out my head

All the serious questions

Seem to eat my time away



We were a marked type

We found a penthouse in the woods

the garbage bag airtight

I only wish I could forget



The glossy imperfection

Seemed to take my grip away

Why'd you still watch yourself

Why'd you still watch yourself



Found my glove that I can't the remove the stains

we took a look there was no one around

But it never took long

We found a penthouse in the woods

Tell me that I am wrong

Tell me that I should just forget



All the serious questions

seem to eat my time away

Why'd you still watch yourself

Why'd you still watch yourself

The glossy imperfection

just seemd to take my grip away

Why'd you still watch yourself

Why'd you still watch yourself
