Crayon formed in 1990 in Bellingham, Washington, featuring Brad Roberts (guitar/vocals), Sean Tollefson (bass/vocals) and Jeff Fell (drums).
Their sound has been compared to twee and punk contemporaries including Pavement,[1] Beat Happening, Hüsker Dü, and Sebadoh.
[3] Roberts left the group in 1994 and Tollefson & Fell went on to form the seminal indie pop band Tullycraft in 1995.
In 2014, HHBTM Records reissued Brick Factory on limited edition vinyl and cassette to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its release.
The re-release met a positive reception from critics, who saw it as both an entertaining listen and an important window into music of the early 1990s.
