first album A Catholic Education

Originally a noisy and chaotic band, their first album A Catholic Education , released in 1990 on Paperhouse , is largely atypical of their later sound, with the possible exception of “Everything Flows”. Mostly written by Blake and McGinley, the record included several songs originally intended for the Boy Hairdressers. After recording his drum parts, MacDonald left the band to resume his university studies. They re-recorded several songs with MacDonald’s replacement, Brendan O’Hare, because they weren’t satisfied with the results of the original recording sessions, and because they wanted to involve O’Hare in the album.
