Rollins Band END OF SILENCE

Rollins Band: Henry Rollins (vocals); Chris Haskett (guitar); Andrew Weiss (bass); Sim Cain (drums); Theo Van Rock (sound effects).
Recorded at Showplace Studios, Dover, New Jersey.
There was quite a buzz circulating around the Rollins Band after their show-stopping performances on the inaugural Lollapooza tour of '91 (they had the dubious task of warming up the crowd in the sweltering afternoon heat). After several independently issued albums, the Rollins Band issued their first domestic effort, THE END OF SILENCE, in 1992. The band benefited from opening tour slots with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Beastie Boys, as well as from alternative rock's crossover to the mainstream. THE END OF SILENCE is one of the Rollins Band's strongest releases. "Low Self Opinion" was an MTV favorite, while other tracks such as "Grip," "Tearing," "You Didn't Need," and "Obscene" caught the band at their most fiercely rocking.
