Sniff Test

Through half emptied beer mugs in the San Francisco airport lounge a project was conceived. Completing a west tour Clint Sabon and Dave Petrie began discussing and eventually decided to collaborate on an original punk rock project. Takashi Iio was then seduced into joining and Sniff Test was born. With the coffee pot humming and the basement smells wafting, the trio immediately began rehearsing. Finally in a bizarre, one day marathon session recorded the instrumental tracks for 12 songs. Vocals were added and five of the songs were mastered in time for a EP and a west coast tour ensued. The group hit the road for a west coast and Pacific Northwest tour. After blasting through sixteen states in two weeks the band returned home to finish vocals for the remaining tracks. The completed album is chock full of musical and lyrical rants about procrastination, playgrounds, the myth of modern day vampires, psychology, razor stubble, lawn mowers, neighborhood bars, self fulfillment, garages, passion in the workplace, personal hygiene, sports and philosophy.
