The sky scraper band 90’sSkyscraper was a UK-based rock band formed during 1992. The
original line-up consisted of Vic Kemlicz (guitar/vocals), previously of the
Camden band Milk, ex-Swervedriver bass guitarist Adi Vines and drummer Oliver
Grasset, formerly of the band Pitchfork Skyscraper. From time to time
Skyscraper also employed the services of guitarist Fuzz (formerly of
Silverfish) to fill out the live sound until the arrival of guitarist Adam
Lamprell, previously from the London band The Scissormen, in 1995. Drummer
Craig Coggle joined the band in 1996.
Although the band's music was
superficially similar to the grunge style that was popular at the time, it
contained a melodic inventiveness and a characteristically unusual guitar style
which brought the band swift attention. Despite being favourites of the UK rock
press, the band split after the recording of their second album, Shooters, in
1997
