The band was briefly on hiatus while Putnam put together a new lineup. The only thing they recorded during this time was the song "You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side", for the Smiths tribute album "The World Still Won't Listen", and the song "Two Turds and a Golf Ball" for the compilation CD of the same name, with Hull on guitar and Putnam performing drums and vocals. During this period, Putnam also did backing vocals for Pantera's "The Great Southern Trendkill" in New Orleans, and lead vocals for an Eyehategod show.
