Recorded by Greg Norman in April of 1998 at Electrical Audio in Chicago, Illinois, the Too Good To Be True EP was Pinebender's first attempt at proper studio recording. At last released after lying dormant for more than three years, these five previously unreleased songs captured the early sound of the group. Twenty-three minutes of loud, edgy, soaring guitars and drums that pound like freedom rings joining forces to form something like pop songs. Less controlled and a little more straight ahead than the songs of the band's critically acclaimed debut full-length, Things Are About To Get Weird , the TGTBT EP serves as an anachronous introduction to the we-should-probably-turn-up-a-little-more work ethic of Pinebender. The EP features the eximious design work of Ohio Girl's Andy Mueller. You can draw your own cover to the cd with a included in the packaging.
