WOOL Budspawn EP 1992



Wikipedia:

Wool were a rock band from Washington, D.C. (but based in Los Angeles), specialising in a rough-hewn but melodic brand of punk-based hard rock from 1990-1996.

Wool formed in the early '90s when brothers Peter and Franz Stahl (vocals/guitar and guitar/vocals, respectively) were forced to terminate their popular band Scream when bassist Skeeter Thompson went AWOL and drummer Dave Grohl defected to Nirvana mid-way through a U.S. tour. The brothers then teamed up with former Government Issue and future Burning Airlines drummer Peter Moffett and Seattle native and ex-Concrete Blonde bassist Al Bloch (brother of Seattle Sub-Pop legend Kurt Bloch from the Fastbacks).

When Wool played here in Pensacola in 1994, only about 5 people showed up, including me. That was a great show - it's just too bad people didn't know what a great band Wool was, or what the music history of its members was all about.

Scream - Are you Pete by chance? In any case yes I know Gus but I live in Pensacola. We were really excited about seeing Wool play. :)
