[edit] Albums
[edit] Gnarkill
Gnarkill originally released a 12" vinyl with a yellow skull cover. 1000 copies of the vinyl were made, but when the roof of Transition Store collapsed almost all of these were destroyed. Since the loss of the vinyls, lucky owners have sold them on for high profits. Nobody knows how many are left, but drummer Jess Margera estimated anything between 20 to 100 copies of the vinyl survived.
A CD re-release titled 'GNARKILL' was put out soon after the loss of the original vinyl and featured a red skull and the name of the band on the cover. The album contains nine tracks which are;
Skeletor/Beastman - 3:00 I Got Erection! - 1:54 Pantyhose Pornshop! - 2:04 (also appears on Thrasher Mag: Skate Rock, Vol. 12: Eat the Flag) Mustard Man! - 2:11 Swab the Deck! - 2:09 Chunky or Thin? - 1:25 The Golden Egg! - 1:35 Rock! Rock! Rock! - 1:29 Arab Dance Party! - 5:20
[edit] GnarKill vs. Unkle Matt and the ShitBirdz
A second album was released May 16, 2006 titled GnarKill vs. Unkle Matt and the ShitBirdz. The album cover features a depiction of an eagle, representing the 'Shitbirdz, and a snake, representing Gnarkill, about to fight. A promotion ran including 5 free Gnarkill "cards" with the first 400 CDs sold. The track listing for the album is;
"Yooo!" "Dicks and Buttkisses!" "Granite Run Mall in the 80's!" "Shitbird Serenade!" "Rakeyohn, the Thespian!" "Ride the Ass of a Midget!" "Best Ever!" "If You Want to Feel Pleasure, You Gotta Feel Pain!" "Dico at the Piano Bar!" "Amish Metal!" "Save Your Gift Receipt!" "Hillbilly Flapjack!" "Video Pirates!" "Goose Grease!" "18 Wheels of Sin!" "My Girl's Gone!" "Rake at the Men's Wearhouse!" "Urine!"
Some of the tracks on the disc are not full length songs but short sound clips on music. There is also notably more piano and keyboard influence in this album compared to Gnarkills first album.
