Reissue of Scratch Acid's first (and only) full-length album - Just Keep Eating (1986) - remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service from the original analog tapes.
Born out of the early 1980’s Austin noise punk scene, Scratch Acid deliberately eschewed the loud, fast rules of hardcore as everything they didn’t want to be and embraced a weirder, artier sound.
Prior to the release of their 1984 debut S/T EP, someone gave Touch and Go Records owner Corey Rusk a cassette of the recording, and he was instantly a huge fan. Rusk was immediately interested in releasing the EP and contacted the band to express his admiration. At the time, Scratch Acid had already committed to working with Rabid Cat Records, who released the band’s debut release S/T EP (1984) and their only full-length album, Just Keep Eating (1986).
The group quickly developed a riveting performance aesthetic, and, as the debut S/T EP made its way around the country via fanzines, college radio, and word-of-mouth, the band mounted short tours to the Midwest and the East Coast. After playing a total of 146 shows, Scratch Acid broke up after the long tour that followed the release of the Berserker EP (Touch and Go Records, 1987). Since that time, the band have had many imitators, and many alternative bands have cited Scratch Acid as one of their influences.
