This album was recorded at Normandy Sound in Rhode Island. This is the same studio that recorded Sick of it All, Cro Mags, Leeway, Rest in Pieces, Judge and....New Kids on the Block and their brother's band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. All done by the same producer Tom Soares. The entire album was recorded in three days. The recording is pretty solid and captured the fury of Crown of Thornz.
When I played in this band we would never practiced before a show and would play great. When we did practice the show never went well.
Due to Ezec we played just about ever good show in NYC in the mid 90's. Crown of Thornz was basically the house band for Coney Island High. H2O's first show was opening us for us in Queens. We also played John Joseph's benefit to get him out of the Navy's jail.
Every show I played with Crown of Thornz was adventure. When would the first fight break out or stage diver would kick out my equipment. All good times.....
