Background and recording

The songs on the album were a combination of songs written by Low Cut Connie's two songwriters--Adam Weiner and Dan Finnemore--both of whom were already members of their own bands at the time. The album was recorded over a four-day period at the Gainesville, Florida studio of the band's guitarist Neil Duncan, who also engineered the album.[2]
