This is the first of the Six Pack series that only made it as far as two releases. The second featured the band Legal Gender with the song "Overcast" and the band The Scene with "Bruise in Me" and - like this one - was limited to 1000 copies. (I'm still looking for that one).
Much thanks to Ben for this submission!!
