Bit obsession must be inherited via 8-bit NES nostalgia.

Cool little EP by some local band from back in the day. Recovered from ancient cassette. Anyone know for sure what this band was, or remember it? Long shot.

EP by a Bangor, Maine local band, I think. Probably P.F.I.A.N.S. circa 1997.

"However, if you are or want to work in the grubby world of record companies and popular charts then you have to live with the limitations that define what you do. Three minutes, basslines, drums, structure etc. And these days, pitch."

In the future all band names will be random nonsense, just to avoid copyright and trademark claims.
