There was a time — call it Saturn returns, call it the early '90s, call it the last gasp before the internet devoured everything — when the Zero Boys found ourselves staring into a different kind of fire. We had grown out of our hardcore skin — not in rejection but in evolution. We were restless. Songs no longer came in bursts of pure speed; they twisted, expanded, asked questions. Structure was no longer the enemy. We let the songs breathe, and in return, they told us things we hadn't expected to hear. The songs collected here from 'Make It Stop' (1991) and 'The Heimlich Maneuver' (1992) capture that moment.
 
Recorded less than a year apart, these two albums are documents of a moment when we were following instinct — pushing the edges of our own sound, threading personal spiritual exploration through the fuzz and the fury. It wasn't religious. It was searching. Trying to locate the self inside the noise of the world. Trying to speak honestly about confusion, resistance, and the parts of ourselves that don't fit neatly into slogans or genres. At the time, we knew we were changing, but we didn't know into what. Now, decades later, playback reveals something clearer.
