Bass player \u003cstrong\u003eStuart Hill\u003c\/strong\u003e and drummer \u003cstrong\u003eMike Russell\u003c\/strong\u003e had just recruited \u003cstrong\u003eChris Matthews\u003c\/strong\u003e to play guitar in their fledgling hardcore band \u003cstrong\u003eStüge\u003c\/strong\u003e (1984-86) when they suddenly found themselves in need of a new singer as well. Matthews suggested his friend \u003cstrong\u003eCraig Wedren\u003c\/strong\u003e for the role. At the audition, Wedren’s style clashed with the style of the band’s previous singer, but the group all sensed that they might have stumbled into a “chocolate-in my-peanut-butter” situation with intriguing potential. The group changed their name and headed into new territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e of this LP is comprised of five songs from one of their first recording sessions together. The tracks chosen are songs that were only released on demo tapes, never to be re-recorded for future proper releases (this version of “\u003cem\u003eToo Little, Too Late\u003c\/em\u003e” did appear on the local punk compilation FR-5 in 1987).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e consists of four tracks that were originally released as their first 7-inch release, the It Was Arson EP, a split release by \u003cstrong\u003eSammich\u003c\/strong\u003e\/\u003cstrong\u003eDischord Records\u003c\/strong\u003e. Included at the end of side B is a version of “\u003cem\u003eTake The Child\u003c\/em\u003e” from this session (later re-recorded for their first album in 1988).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L.G.
