Scratch Acid was a noise rock group formed in Austin, Texas in 1982. Known for their intense and chaotic performances, they quickly gained a cult following. After disbanding in 1987, members David Yow and David Sims went on to form The Jesus Lizard.
With their unique blend of punk, post-punk, and experimental sounds, Scratch Acid pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their raw energy and abrasive sound made them stand out in the underground scene.
Although their time together was short-lived, Scratch Acid's influence can still be felt today. Their impact on noise rock and alternative music is undeniable, making them an important part of music history.

Born out of the early 80's Austin noise punk scene, Scratch Acid's eventual permanent lineup consisted of David Yow on vocals, Brett Bradford on guitar, David Wm. Sims on bass, and Rey Washam (Big Boys) on drums. After putting out a self-titled EP and the full length Just Keep Eating, Touch and Go released the band's scathing Berserker EP in 1987. The band broke up after the long tour that followed the release, and David and Rey joined up briefly with Steve Albini in Rapeman. After Rapeman broke up, the two Davids formed The Jesus Lizard. In 1991, Touch and Go released The Greatest Gift, which collected all of Scratch Acid's recorded output.
