Negative Gain was founded in Oakville, Ontario Canada by Peter Warner who wrote all of the lyrics and provided rehearsal space in his basement. Filling out the lineup was Grant C. Slavin on guitar, Steve Currie on bass, and Andrew Mosely on drums. All members were in their mid-teens at the time. Their influences included Minor Threat, Millions of Dead Cops, the Misfits, and the Dead Kennedys, as well as fellow Canadian bands Direct Action and Sudden Impact. Killer thrash hardcore, fast and aggressive but with a dark edge at times originally out on Pushead's label Pusmort. Includes their full early demo as bonus.
