Data Insight

Twenty of the twenty-two tracks are the band's own, the most self-written record they made. It is also the roughest: loops, dubs, answering machine tapes and a landlord's monologue split across three tracks.

Robbin' the Hood came out on Skunk Records in February 1994, recorded largely in a living room on a four-track. It is certified gold. Gwen Stefani sings on "Saw Red".
