History

Dave Allen (Gang of Four and Shriekback), Rick Boston and Jeff Ward founded the band in Los Angeles. Rick Boston sang and played guitar, Dave Allen, founder of the record label World Domination Recordings, played bass and Jeff Ward was on drums.[1] Ward left the group after the recording of their debut album, On the Cross of Commerce. He committed suicide in 1993, dying of carbon monoxide poisoning.[2] He was replaced by Melle Steagal.[3] Jessy Greene of the Geraldine Fibbers contributed some violin. The soundtrack to the thriller The Harvest can be considered a Low Pop Suicide side project.
