Skyscraper

Skyscraper were a British-based rock band active between 1992 and 1998. They released three singles on Food Records (the first two through label subsidiary Incoherent Records) and two albums and one single on their own Dynosupreme Records, also touring the UK extensively and appearing on MTV and British national radio. The band were favourites of the UK rock press, with Metal Hammer magazine calling Skyscraper's 1995 album Superstate "... the best debut by far of any British rock band in recent years".
Skyscraper were formed in autumn 1992 by guitarist/vocalist Vic Kemlicz, formerly of the London band Milk and ex-Swervedriver bass guitarist Adi Vines. The line up was completed by drummer Oliver Grasset. 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. After making their live debut at London venue The Falcon in October 1992, the band soon raised their profile further by signing to Food Records, appearing as support to Rage Against the Machine and recording a session for John Peel's radio show in February 1993.
