Which songs are on Junkyard's 1989 debut album?
The 10-song album includes "Hollywood," "Simple Man," "Blooze," and "Hands Off." Its original running time is about 38 minutes.
Is Junkyard's debut a glam-metal album or a punk record?
It was marketed within the late-1980s hard-rock scene, but its sound mixes punk abrasion with blues and Southern-rock guitar work. "Hollywood" is a good example of that collision between Los Angeles sleaze rock and a Lynyrd Skynyrd-like riffing style.
Which label released Junkyard's self-titled album?
Geffen Records released the album in 1989. That placed Junkyard alongside major-label Los Angeles hard-rock acts just before grunge changed the commercial market.
What should I listen to after Junkyard's debut?
The direct follow-up is Sixes, Sevens & Nines, released in 1991. Listeners drawn to the debut's rougher side may also recognize connections to Guns N' Roses, Faster Pussycat, and the members' punk backgrounds.
