Additional Info producer David Darling, "I saw the band and it was the most heinously noisy band I had ever heard, I had to record them. "The Crushed" also made it into an A&R meeting at Atlantic where the response was "this band will never be on Atlantic" Cool huh? Also, one of Nikki Sixx' favorite bands and they were up for signing on his new label but his lame partner "didn't get it"!
