Description
The Buck Pets – To The Quick – Cassette
The Buck Pets’ To the Quick, released in 1993 by Restless Records, marks the band’s third studio album and showcases a darker, more visceral evolution in their sound. Recorded at Oz Recording Studio in Baltimore, Maryland, the album was produced by Ted Nicely, known for his work with Fugazi and Shudder to Think, alongside the band members themselves.
To the Quick delves into more mature themes without sacrificing the band’s signature passion and energy. The album’s production emphasizes a raw, unfiltered sound that complements the introspective and, at times, melancholic lyrics. Notably, the track ‘Bargain’ is a cover of The Who’s classic, showcasing The Buck Pets’ ability to reinterpret and pay homage to their influences.
In December 2023, To the Quick was reissued on vinyl for the first time, featuring remastered audio and reimagined artwork. This limited edition release, pressed on opaque purple vinyl, was produced in a run of 250 numbered copies, offering fans and collectors a chance to experience the album in a new format.
To the Quick remains a significant entry in The Buck Pets’ discography, reflecting their growth as artists and their contribution to the alternative rock scene of the early 1990s.
