DWARVES - Sugarfix LP

In 1993, the Dwarves released Sugarfix along with pulling a prank on their record label. On the inside booklet, the band printed a photo of guitarist He Who Cannot Be Named with his year of birth and his year of "death".

Of course, this was merely wacky hijinks. However, Subpop, their label at the time, was not amused one bit and ultimately dropped them from the label. Perhaps they were also discovering the Dwarves weren't going to soar to the stratosphere alongside Soundgarden and Nirvana, but it was pretty obvious the confrontational, hedonistic punk band wasn't not a match for a label better known for grunge and passive aggressive flannel wearing pretend-lumberjacks.
