Timbuk 3 was an American rock band from Madison Wisconsin which released six original studio albums between 1986 and 1995.
The songs "Life Is Hard" and "Shame on You" were used in the 1986 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and were included on the film's accompanying soundtrack album.
Trouser Press called Greetings from Timbuk3 "surely one of the darkest albums ever to have yielded a hit single."
