Torn between punkified, overblown folk songs and an almost obsessive prog-like need to stretch out instrumentally, the sound was simultaneously familiar and unique. Punk without the posing. Rock without the pretense. Heavy without the metal.

The Roy's Head EP is available again for the first time since 1990. The songs from Roy's Head were all re-recorded for What Never Was, but there's a freshness to these slower, early versions that some argue was never re-captured. The original version of Big Fishes, in particular, is a remarkable document that turned a lot of heads on its initial release. This re-issue also inclues the limited edition MARY XMAS 89 single as bonus tracks.
