Throwing Muses released their debut self-titled EP in 1984 on their own Blowing Fuses label. In 1985, they released a set of demos, later known as “The Doghouse Cassette,” garnering extensive coverage in the local music press. Demo producer Gary Smith of Fort Apache Studios led them to sign with 4AD , where they became the label’s first American band. Kristin recalls, “I signed with them because [owner] Ivo [Watts-Russell] was funny and goofy, and that was about it.” In 1986, they released their self-titled debut album produced by Gil Norton . Hersh has written the memoir Rat Girl about the year the band moved to Boston, was signed, and recorded their first album.
