Kodwa kulokhu iqembu lalusukumela phezulu lolu daba. Umdlali weBassist uMike Starr kanye nomshayi wezigubhu uSean Kinney maduzane bajoyine lolu hlu. Lokhu kusivumele ukuthi siqale ukuqamba amahithi okuqala.
Iqembu elisha lasheshe ladonsa ukunaka kubakhiqizi, ngakho impumelelo ayizange ifike isikhathi eside. Kakade ngo-1989, leli qembu laba ngaphansi kwephiko lerekhodi le-Columbia Records. Ube nesandla ekukhululweni kwe-albhamu yokuqala ye-Facelift.
