The idea of PHYSIQUE and ELECTRIC CHAIR doing a split record was a spontaneous idea that got thrown out when a handful of members from each band went swimming together a few summers ago. The thought that they were two very different sounding and well celebrated bands, from the same small town made it very appealing. Of course, the driving idea was that it was a symbol of friendship between members of the bands. Since their respective inceptions, the two bands have been closely intertwined. Riley lived with a few members of ELECTRIC CHAIR for many years. Trae is a former member of PHYSIQUE - and Riley has even filled in on drums for EC. The two bands love one other and have been long time friends and supporters of each other’s music. The record celebrates a period of time in OLYMPIA’s rich punk history that all involved are very proud of.
