Hotwire (band)

After recording demos, they began opening for Will Haven, Strife, Hoobastank, and Audiovent but also garnered large support at the Troubadour in Los Angeles with an extended residency spanning six months.

[1] After signing with RCA Records in December 2000, they continued to tour taking slots supporting such diverse acts as Mogwai, Ben Harper, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Björk, Darkest Hour, Bloodlet, As Friends Rust, Wu-Tang Clan, Poison The Well, Killswitch Engage, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Atreyu.

They followed the release of the album with a slot on the Ozzfest tour that year as well as making time for the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.

[4] The band broke up soon after the Ozzfest tour despite accumulating much new material, citing both mismanagement of funds by their management and personal reasons.

The release of this version of the album was canceled because of creative differences between the label (RCA), producer (Dave Jerden) and the Band.
