1) A gritty, heavily tattooed outfit that infused elements of southern rock and blues into their brand of L.A. sleaze metal. Their no-frills brand of rock'n'roll, where the music mattered more then the image, should have made them household names, but they failed to have much in the way of commercial success.
Formed in Los Angeles by a couple of transplanted Texans in David Roach (vocals) and Chris Gates (guitar, ex-Big Boys). Members came and went before they offered the drum stool to Pat Muzingo, who in turn brought with him bassist Clay Anthony. The final piece of the puzzle was the addition of guitarist Brian Baker, whom Gates knew from the punk circuit when he was in such bands as Minor Threat and Dag Nasty. The self-titled debut album, produced by the legendary Tom Werman, followed a grittier hard rock path then the punk roots of the members. The follow-up was more of the same raunchy music, but just before it's release Todd Muscat (Decry) replaced Anthony.
A third album was recorded but never officially released as the band was dropped from their recording contract (it has since been bootlegged under the name of XXX and The Joker). The writing was on the wall for the group and they disbanded. A live album was released in early 2000, and the band did a few live shows in America and Japan (with Tim Mosher replacing Baker). A mini album of new and old songs was released in 2003 and the band continues to tour off and on, don't miss out this time.

The longer that I sit here, the longer that it lasts
Well I guess you left me baby, looked over and you were gone
Might have stopped you but the TV was on
Now I’m just killing time
And I’m waiting – won’t cha come on back to me?
But I’m getting nowhere, and time is killing me
Time’s killing me
Time’s killing me
You gave me everything till I bleed you dry
Staying out all damn night – me & my boys we was hanging high
Never saw how I hurt you, or how I made you cry
And you knew every time I tried to tell a lie
Now I’m just killing time
And I’m waiting – till ya come on back to me
But I’m getting nowhere, and time’s killing me
Killing Time - Time’s killing me
Killing Time - Time’s killing me
Killing Time – Oh time…
You got to come back baby; Lord won’t you please come back
I need your loving – I was just too damn blind to see
I know I hurt you, but can you please be strong?
And me, I’ll just sit here: I’ll try to hold on
Baby please comes back!
Days turned into weeks now, and the weeks roll along
Still I sit here and I wait till you come home
Well I hear you got a new love and moved off away
Still I sit here, and right here I’ll stay
I sit here – I’m killing time
And I’m waiting – till ya come on back to me
But I’m getting nowhere, and time’s killing me
Killing Time - Time’s killing me
Killing Time –
You got to come back baby
Lord won’t cha come on back
Killing Time – killing time’s killing me
Killing Time – killing time’s killing me
Killing Time – killing time
The song Killing Time by Junkyard portrays the regret and sorrow of a man who lost his lover due to his own foolish actions. The song begins with the singer sitting by the window and watching time go by, realizing that the longer he waits, the harder it becomes. Despite the regret that eats him up inside, he cannot change the past and must keep on waiting, killing time.
The lyrics suggest that the singer did not appreciate his lover when he had her. He was too busy with his own selfish pursuits, going out with his friends, and taking her for granted. She tried to tell him that he was hurting her, but he ignored her cries. Now that she is gone, he realizes his mistake, but it is too late. He is stuck in a limbo, waiting for her to come back, but she has moved on.
The chorus of the song conveys the pain and agony that the singer is going through. He is caught in a cycle of waiting and feeling like time is slipping away from him. The desperation in his voice is palpable, as he begs his lover to come back and forgive him for his mistakes. However, it seems that the singer is still not ready to take any action, as he continues to sit and wait, killing time.
Overall, the song Killing Time highlights the universal theme of regret and the importance of appreciating your loved ones while you have them. It is a powerful reminder that time is precious, and once it is gone, it cannot be regained.
