In 1993 5 adolescents in the small industrial town of FAGERSTA, SWEDEN each recieve a letter with a time and place. A year later they, led by the genious of a mr. RANDY FITZSIMMONS, begin to appear in various public places in and around Fagersta. The response is one of confusion, excitement and contempt. In the year 1995 word had spread throughout the middle part of Sweden. These kids with strange haircuts play really fast and short sets that sometimes just fall apart in arguments and sometimes are pure magic to witness. Record company exec. PETER AHLQVIST hears of this. He is intrigued but a bit uncertain as he doesn't really know what to make of them. He decides however that he can release them on a sidelabel to minimize damage to his own label BURNING HEART, if these young men would enter the studio on one of their infamous bad days.
