Our formative years can really be heard on this,” says Grant Minor. “We had a somewhat chaotic energy…revisiting these songs while assembling the live photo insert for the packaging was melancholic but enriching. Some were first performed at legendary but now defunct venues, like the Railway Club and the Media Club. Vancouver had some really exciting new bands at the time, including Mode Moderne, Spectres, Petroleum By-Product, and Twin Crystals. We’ve done our best with this release to capture the evolution of our place in that scene for the last 15 years.
