The band found a regular guitarist in Frank Piegaro in 2002, while John O’Neill had been replaced by Brian “Pnut” Kozuch in 2001. They took to a studio in Hoboken, New Jersey , and in seven days recorded twenty cover versions of artists such as Bad Brains , Descendents , Dag Nasty , Hüsker Dü , Misfits and Discharge , all seminal punk bands who had influenced members of Ensign in their formative years. The record was released in October 2003, on Blackout Records — they had agreed to do this for label owner, Bill “Blackout” Wilson, with Tim Shaw having worked with and for him during the early Indecision Records days — and it was called Love the Music, Hate the Kids . In Europe, it was released by the German label, JoinTheTeamPlayer.
