skyscraper was a uk-based rock band formed during 1992 .
the original line up consisted of vic kemlicz -lrb- guitar/vocals -rrb- 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 -lrb- formerly of silverfish -rrb- 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 .
