Originally a 3 Piece Band, They went on Tour and were the first out of the area to get some higher profile gigs. They scored a record deal & recorded, but the record company went Bankrupt before the album was ever released - The Test Pressing for this Album was Lost and never Found. They released their own cassette which was a live, raw sounding 2 track "LOST IN A MAZE" and were also on the O.C. compilation Album "O.C.'s Trail of Destruction" as well as other low budget DIY compilation cassettes. R.I.P Jimmy Rosenbaum - he was the roots of everything that started out of SJC & the SJP's. We had our own little Punk World in SJC, We were way behind the Orange Curtain and we were out of the HB spotlight. Everything we did was for ourselves and everyone had that DO IT YOURSELF attitude - Form your Own Band, Make your Own Gigs, Make your own Fliers , throw your own parties. No Attitudes, just good ol' drunken fun.
