History & Biography
Formed in January of 1989 by McCahan. The band called itself 'grind rock' (others called it weedcore) and adopted a pro-drugs/environmental attitude. Members were pulled from Satan's Bake Sale and Distorted World. The band released five demos and two vinyls, the latter being The Unrequited Love For Chicken Soup on Thrash Records and the Green Is Good LP for Ecocentric. Vocalist Bill, who was a vegetarian, moved to Denver to start Relapse Records for a short time and with that label established, the band found a permanent home as the 'house band.' More 7's followed and with the line-up shifting the grinders employed people as diverse as Dan Lilker (replacing Joel DiPietro in 1992) and King Fowley here and there. July of 1993 brought the sampler Don't Spare The Green Love CD. After Ethos Musick (with a speaker-shattering surprise), the band participated in another ten kilos worth of samplers and EPs and paid tribute to everyone from Venom and The Doors to their milkman and accountant. The band's cover artwork and parody of Venom on 1995's ...Just A Few More Hits managed to upset a few Venom fans as Yurkiewicz's dislike for black metal was well pronounced. An announced album called Didactic Grind went AWOL. Smoking Songs of 1996 was a cover versions compilations featuring marijuana-related tunes from early 20th century. It was issued by Relapse.

Pat McCahan was the owner of Red Stream Records. High Life! was a 2007 compilation. Joel DiPietro died in 2015.
