BYO Split Series Volume I is an album by Leatherface and Hot Water Music, the first entry in the BYO Split Series.[1][2] It was released in 1999.[3]
Production
The bands recorded the album after a joint 1998 tour of America.[4] They embarked on a second joint tour, in 2000, to support the album.[5]
"Andy" is about former Leatherface bass player Andy Crighton, who had committed suicide before the band reformed.[6]
Critical reception
Trouser Press called "Andy" "a blistering return," writing that Leatherface's half of the album "picks up where The Last left off, obliterating the five-year gap between studio recordings."[7]
