Cracked Tiles, the debut album from Detroit's Zug Izland, came out on Psychopathic Records on January 28, 2003, and it's what happens when Insane Clown Posse's Violent J decides he wants to hear what Juggalo rock would sound like. He and Mike Puwal started the band in 2001, naming it after an industrial site near Detroit, and worked up the songs while ICP was making The Wraith: Shangri-La. All they needed was a singer in the mold of Cobain, Vedder, Morrison or Axl, and they found one in Syn.
Mike P., Syn and Violent J produced it themselves, and the guest list is pure Psychopathic family reunion: Anybody Killa, Jamie Madrox, Joy Sparks, Blaze Ya Dead Homie and Insane Clown Posse themselves. The sound is grimy, grunge-streaked alt-rock with a carnival leer. It debuted at No. 48 on the Heatseekers chart and No. 31 on the independent albums chart, and sent the band out on the road with King's X and Dope.
