The group's first demo tape, released under the name Squirrelbait Youth, featured drummer Rich Schuler and saw Grubbs handle both guitar and vocals. This lineup self-released a second tape in 1983. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter Rich Schuler moved away, Britt Walford took over on drums and Peter Searcy joined as singer.

These recordings feature a more driving, melodic sound than the hardcore thrash of their early tapes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn May 1985, the band, now featuring Ben Daughtrey on drums and Brian McMahan on second guitar, returned to Sound on Sound to record six more songs. The band's debut self-titled EP, released in the fall of 1985, received much critical acclaim. The same lineup recorded the band's only LP, 1987's Skag Heaven. The group broke up after its release, owing to personal and musical differences within the band and Grubbs and Johnson's decision to leave Louisville for college. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Drag City Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46537172058273,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/bait12.jpg?v=1781331914","url":"https:\/\/store.greennoiserecords.com\/products\/squirrel-bait-s-t-new-12","provider":"Green Noise Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
