Just who is this band called "Scrapegoat"? Well, they're from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada - and that's pretty far up north. Made up of four members - Brahm Taylor (vocals, guitar), Myke Marykuca (bass, vocals), Travis Armour (guitar) and Mel Sabourin (original drummer now back with the band), the quartet took the Yellowknife music scene by storm over the summer of '95. Their hard-rockin' music can be described as a younger, more raw Tragically Hip, but that description doesn't go far enough. You have to see them live, get caught up in that Scrapegoat-atmostphere, to really experience what Scrapegoat is all about.

NEW FAN MAN was officially released in Yellowknife on December 9th, 1995, and within only a couple weeks since it's release - after numerous "release parties") and strong airplay on the radio station, the album has been proven to be very popular. To quote guitarist Travis Armour, "...is pretty fucking decent for a first go...".

Interesting little tidbit: the album is named after a curious little man who was at every one of their shows with a bag of Doritos? Well, he's now a star, as he graces the album cover!
