Both Max and I had recorded with Bart before we even knew each other. Bart was the only local, affordable studio that we knew of and he specialized in recording punk bands which was a rarity at the time.

I was originally introduced to Bart through Eugene Robinson of Oxbow who, at the time, was running a record store in the building that also housed Bart's studio the original House of Faith.

I had played some tapes of my band Sheep Squeeze for Eugene and he suggested that we record with Bart and brought Chris Heeee Sheep Squeeze vocalist and I back to the studio area to introduce us to Bart. I was blown away and Chris and I started riding our bikes from Redwood City to Palo Alto every weekend to hang around the record store and see who Bart was recording. I remember we were down there when Neurosis was recording their Dead Kennedy 's cover for the Virus comp.

They were one of our favorite bands back then and it was crazy to be sitting there on the couches bullshitting with them. Keep in mind we were years old at the time! Chris was the youngest person Bart had ever recorded.

Max had recorded all the Plutocracy stuff with Bart so it was only natural that when we started doing Spazz that Bart would record it. We also rehearsed in the live room at House of Faith and stored our gear there up until that entire area was destroyed in order to build a medical center.

I don't think I would be sitting here typing this right now if it wasn't for their encouragement and support. The audio sampled intros you guys used was another popular aspect about Spazz.

How did you guys handle that part of the recordings? Did you each contribute sample ideas? We all contributed samples. Max and I lived really close by and skated almost every day so I think we were constantly inspiring each other and compiling stuff based on themes we would come up with at practices and then further riff off of during skate sessions. The band's releases often showcased their unusual sense of humour: absurdly long and nonsensical song titles, audio samples from b-movies and kung-fu films between songs and the occasional use of hip hop beats as well as saxophones, banjos and other instruments rarely associated within hardcore punk.

All three of the members shared vocal duties, usually changing in sequence from line to line.
