Bitch Magnet was formed by Sooyoung Park (bass and vocals) and Jon Fine (guitar) at Oberlin College in late 1986, and became a much more musically viable prospect when drummer Orestes Morfin signed on in the spring of 1987. Between 1988 and 1990 BITCH MAGNET toured the US and Europe and released three landmark albums - Star Booty (1988), Umber (1989), and Ben Hur (1990) - which established them among the top tier of American independent bands of that era.
Moss Icon were a band founded in Annapolis, Maryland in 1987. They disbanded a mere four years later, but not without leaving a legacy that only grew as the increasingly homogenous punk-rock scene they sought to subvert slowly became one with the corporate machine that said scene purported to rage against.
