Junkyard Biography
Junkyard came out of the streets of LA trying to survive and make a name for themselves in the late '80s. Some of the members came from some well-known punk and hardcore bands (including The Necros, Dag Nasty, and Minor Threat), but as Junkyard they are one of the better-known bands out now. ~ John Book, All Music Guide
