In 1986, Samolesky and Hannah recruited original bassist Scott Hopper via a “progressive thrash band looking for bass player” flyer posted in a local record shop. Hopper was replaced three years later by Mike Braumeister, which completed the first lineup to perform live. After the band established itself through several demos and larger shows, including one with Fugazi , Braumeister moved to Vancouver , and John K. Samson became the band’s third bassist.
