This was my first all original band. We spent quite a bit of time in Larry’s basement writing the first few songs and then my brother, Joe, did his thing.

We recorded the album Aggravation on a 4-track cassette recorder that I somehow still own in my brother’s living room. I tried to clean it up using modern techniques but with the original cassette tape lost to time, this is as good as it gets. I still enjoy the hell out of it and believe it’s not too shabby for being one of the only bands at the time writing their own music.
