Steve Smyth:

Steve and I started this project in 1993, after both being featured in Mike Varney's Hometown Heroes column; I was in the October issue, he was in the November issue. Between us, from these demo sessions, we had ten songs, but decided to go into a proper studio (what you had to do at the time, as home recording equipment was very expensive!), and only record four songs. We located and asked Atma Anur if he would be interested in drumming on this project. He accepted, and we finished recording in late 1993, and shopped the tape and kit around. No luck there, but we kept on writing, found a drummer named Ron Redeen, who is out drumming again with us now, and wrote another 12 songs.

In 1995, when I got the Vicious Rumors gig, we put this on hold, and everyone went their separate ways. It felt like it was never finished, like we never saw an album through. So, Steve and I decided in 2001, we would take a look at some of those songs, pared them down to a few, wrote new songs, and started demoing.
