Junkyard is an American hard rock band formed in 1987 in Los Angeles, with members previously in Minor Threat, Big Boys, Decry and Dag Nasty.

[5] After these two left the group, the lineup stabilized around lead singer David Roach, guitarist Chris Gates, bassist Clay Anthony and drummer Patrick Muzingo.

"[8] The band was signed by Geffen Records in January 1988,[9] with a self-titled Tom Werman-produced debut album issued in 1989, described by AllMusic as incorporating "elements of Southern rock, boogie-woogie, and AC/DCism into one compact sound.

This album was followed two years later by Sixes, Sevens & Nines, produced by Ed Stasium and featuring contributions from Steve Earle.

A live Junkyard album, Shut Up – We're Trying to Practice!, was issued in 2000, and Baker, Roach, Muzingo and Muscat reformed the band, with Tim Mosher (guitar/vocals) added to the lineup.

[14] On July 10, 2015, Junkyard released two new songs,[15] "Faded" b/w The River", on Unison Music Group, with a CD single and 7" vinyl following in late August.
