 Bonnet loaned the band $200 and booked the band to come into the studio, which was delayed two weeks because Bonnet did not show up for the first session nor the rescheduled session the next week.As an apology, Bonnet let them record on the studio's 24-track machine for the same price as the 12-track machine when he finally arrived to the third session a week later on January 10, 1987.For the demo, the group did a number of songs that would later be re-recorded for their debut album, which were reportedly written by Weasel during his stay at a drug rehabilitation center in Maine when he was a teenager.
