Originally released in 1994, Sivle Si Dog’s Drain-o EP is the creation of a bunch of misfits operating in almost complete isolation in the mountains of North Carolina. Released on the heels of their s/t debut, Drain-o is the sound of a band finding their own voice, surrounded by hostile hippy jam bands and a stagnant bluegrass/folk music scene. Drawing together a small, but passionate followers of punks and misfits, the band became known in their hometown of Boone for the number of venues they were banned from. The band eventually moved to Boston around 1996, slowly building up a strong following in places like The Rat, TT’s, and Jaques. They released two full-lengths, Ham Biscuit and Room 30, over the next few years, before calling it quits in 1997. Originally released on 10” vinyl at the time when vinyl was (seemingly) dying and the 10” was the unwanted bastard child, the Drain-o EP also reflects the bad business decisions that characterized the band.
