"When #Soundgarden finished up their year-long #Badmotorfinger tour, #BenShepherd and #MattCameron found themselves in a euphoric state of creative inspiration. The two friends hooked up with fellow music friends, #JohnWaterman and #JohnMcBain and coerced, a "roadside" dog and his pet-man #BrianWood to join the jalopy ride through rec-room music mentality. As Ben took his guitar down from the shelf and sang, the music motivated Matt, a drum wizard, to manipulate the drums and then give singing and lyricism a go on the tune, Sad McBain. Meanwhile, Brian wailed and snarled throughout Hater, as McBain roared on his guitar, and mean rhythm lines were laid down by John Waterman.

#PureMusicMayhem was born.

#Hater 1993
