Toronto psych duo Gadsby & Skol releasing debut on vinyl

Chuck Gadsby and Rick Skol released their long overdue debut in 2001 which is now being reissued by Blue Matter Records.


Here's the scoop from Blue Matter Records...

Back in Toronto in 1970, three young guys, heavily influenced by Blue Cheer & Hendrix, got together to form a band. Featuring Charles Gadsby on guitar and vocals, Rick Skol on drums & vocals and Drew Tjernstrom on bass, the nascent outfit called themselves ‘Gadsby & Skol.’

After much rehearsing they started to play local shows, but soon decide they need to do some more work on their sound. In the end, the project stalled and they went their separate ways. Then in 1995 Charles Gadsby found an old rehearsal tape and contacted the other two guys to suggest that they get back together to record the album they could have made back in 1970, if they’d ever got  a recording deal.

A little while later the recordings you have here are completed, and an album’s worth of material is ready and waiting. The album eventually makes its’ one and only brief CD appearance on Nick Saloman's Woronzow label in 2001.

Now here it is on vinyl for the very first time heavy and raw, just how it was meant to be.

So if you like Thunder & Roses, Blue Cheer, Third Power and hard rocking psych guitar bands, you’re going to love this! That’s as close to a promise as we can make. Get a copy from Blue Matter Records right here. Listen to "Stop!" below.
