About Me

From Portland, OR, Skiploader writes songs with sensitive lyrics and minimalist guitars. The band released an album on the indie Schizophrenic label; DGC signed the band (vocalist/guitarist Tom Ackerman, guitarist Kevin Higgins, bassist Craig Koozer, and drummer Jeff Turner) and released the Anxious, Restless EP in early 1995. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
