Sean originally joined just as a singer but started playing guitar after facing crippling stage fright during his first show with the band. They recorded a demo tape in 1996, along with a split 7-inch with The Impossibles made to coincide with an ill-fated tour to the West Coast in the summer of 1996. Not long after the tour, drummer John Huckleba left and was replaced by Scott Williams, formerly of 4th Grade Nothing and Spill.
