This is the second (and I believe last) demo by Blush. A year after their self-titled demo, and it seems they have leaned a bit more towards more straight-forward 90s alt rock. The slight grunge leanings of the past demo are mostly gone here. There are still some experimental and/or humorous moments as well, so it’s not like just went mainstream. There was also the Remixes + More tape in 1993 as well. As far as I know, this was the last time we heard from Blush. Authorities have a theory about a former retired bass player of the band making them all “disappear” into the seedy world of children’s rap, but so far no charges have stuck.
