You're quite right.  Something about seeing the name in print struck
me as a little odd, but I didn't think much of it, never conceiving
that there might be 2 bands, called "Skyclad" and "Skye Klad".  ;-)

The Brit outfit is the one I was thinking of.  Their earlier material
is a little too "growly" for me, but the song mentioned above is
simply wonderful, and enough to make me want to give them another try.
Anybody who likes Boiled In Lead (paging Carl!) or Metallica's cover of
Newry Highwayman should love it.

No reflection intended on the MN outfit, who as far as I know I have
never heard...!
