about

Compilation of 2 cassettes released in 1996 on the Otis Stokes cassette label, "One Mailman A Piece" & "Vs. The Opposable Thumbs"

Index Finger was the power duo of Kevin Hahl & Pete Sullivan.
After the breakup of 3 Chords & A Plug, they had joined forces to continue the adventure of abuse on a Yamaha 4-Track.

Kevin Hahl-
" I still listen to it fondly. The first album especially is probably my favorite recording that I've ever been a part of. It was a weird time in my life, which is probably the best time to make music. But the process and the songs and the atmosphere. It felt like magic. Which maybe is overstating the quality of the songs, but it doesn't stop me from holding them in such high regard."

Pete Sullivan-
"It was magic. We lived & breathed music so much then.."

"We did hand these cassettes to Simon Joyner & John Darnielle in Baltimore too.."

"I’m sorry Otis Stokes didn’t make it. I guess we shoulda had more friends or left town once in a while..."
