After the 1996 album Don't Back Down, The Queers went through changes, including founding member Joe King getting clean from drugs and alcohol, drummer Hugh O'Neill leaving due to health issues and bassist B-Face moving over to the Groovie Ghoulies.

The band followed that up by recording Punk Rock Confidential in Big Sound Studios, in Westbrook, ME and Sonic Iguana in Lafayette, IN.

The liner notes for the album list the band as Joe Queer on guitar and vocals, Jon Cougar Concentration Camp members Dangerous Dave and Chris Cougar Concentration Camp (aka Chris Field) on guitars and bass respectively and Steve Stress on drums.

Due to issues with royalties, the band decided to re-record the album as they didn't have the rights to re-issue it[3] So in 2018, Punk Rock Confidential Revisited was released on vinyl by Asian Man Records and CD by Rad Girlfriend Records.
