After recording a demo late that year both guitarists left with bassist Biggy (R.I.P) leaving to do vocals for Inebriation. The remaining members Emily and Craig H soon recruited ex Nefarious bassist Nigel Toxic and guitarist Lyn M. They released their 1st EP 'Thrills, Chills and Chemical Spills' before disbanding in ’97. Undeterred drummer Craig produced a new and improved line up (pictured) of Dan Gretch, Nigel Toxic, and Renee (ex-Demon Dolls) Leishman.
