Forced Down - (1990) Rise 7''

….In the blink of and eye they decided to form a band…. MIke brought in good friend and singer Rob Osbourne to fill vocal duties and Bass Player Chris Pippin. Rob originally from Texas, was attending school and living in the Kearny Mesa area….Chris was playing in a band the Abyss, and was living in Point Loma…. Many Names for the band were tossed around….but it was Rob aka Robb/Base that would brainstorm a "SSD" song title from "the kids will have there say" album entitled "Forced Down Your Throat"….we clipped the end and felt it represented a lot of what mtv and other institutions were doing to the kids of the 80's…Forcing Products and Culture thru a little machine called Capitalism…today it is no less than ironic how the machine has sold the very parts of what we were creating in opposition to it then… This first incarnation would practice for about 4 months and track a 5-song demo intitled "forgot".. It was crude, recorded 10-9-89 at Tony house of sound using an 8 channel 2 track….and of course recorded live….with a Xeroxed cover
