Vegas Throat

Vegas Throat is the debut studio album by the American noise rock band Barkmarket. It was released in 1991 by Triple X Records. It was reissued in 1992 on Rick Rubin's Def American label with an alternate track listing and the song " Ten Convictions". The album's title is a colloquial term describing a chronic sore throat attributed by singers and performers to the dry desert air in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Reception
Stewart Mason of AllMusic claimed that "the rough edges of this album add to its charm", although noting that later releases perfected the band's sound.
