The High Back Chairs were formed in Washington, D.C. in 1989 by Jeff Nelson (ex-Minor Threat, Three), Peter Hayes, Charles Steck (ex-Velvet Monkees), and Jim Spellman (Velocity Girl). Their sound reflected a move away from the harder-edged music of their previous bands toward more of a pop sensibility. The band played locally for the most part and released a full length and a couple EPs on Dischord Records. In 1991, Jim left the band to play full-time with Velocity Girl and was replaced by Charles Bennington. In August 1992, Jeff also left the band and The High Back Chairs continued with a new drummer before breaking up later that year.

"If you can't count on the Minor Threat drummer to keep quote kicking ass unquote, then who CAM you CORDER on? Thank God we still have Dead Kennedys bassist Klaus Flouride ripping us a new asshole with his The Light Is Flickering LP!"But with one saving grace - How sweet the sound of that lead guitarist playing NOTES instead of just chords! chords is what drives dimwits to decree that "everything has been done before so it's okay that my band sounds just like Pavement." Notes are what separate the men from the mice. In every other way, men and mice are
