made a deal with Touch and Go Records

With Finnegan insisting the band needed multi-track recording facilities, Void chose not to continue releasing material through Dischord, and instead made a deal with Touch and Go Records in mid-1983. The group recorded an album’s worth of material; however, the band members were drifting in different musical directions including glam rock , hip hop , and hard rock . Void strayed further apart because of their gigs becoming increasingly manic, and by late 1983 the group disbanded after the members graduated from high school. Corey Rusk, the owner of Touch and Go, was uninterested in releasing the album of a dissolved band while in the midst of securing a big deal with the Butthole Surfers . Although members of Void were adamant about leaving the botched album unreleased, hardcore aficionados heavily bootlegged it onto cassette tapes titled Potions for Bad Dreams . Bands such as White Zombie and the Melvins have claimed Potions for Bad Dreams shaped their own musical styles.
