Based in Rob's home state of Connecticut, this line-up played around the New England area for about a year on a weekly basis (or even more often than that) while 4-tracking a ton of new songs. The band broke up in early '91 when Rob Rock decided to re-join his old pal, Chris Impellitteri. Roy moved back home to L.A. right after the split.
