In the decade since their conception, the Dirtbombs have hosted a revolving door of musicians both in the studio and on the road. As of June 2004 the band’s 17th and current lineup consists of Collins on guitar, Troy Gregory (formerly of Flotsam and Jetsam, Prong, and lead singer of The Witches and Troy Gregory & The Stepsisters) on bass, Ko Melina (formerly of Ko & The
Knockouts) on a distorted “fuzz” bass, and Ben Blackwell (nephew of Jack White of The White Stripes and owner of record label Cass Records) and Pat Pantano (also of The Come Ons) on the drum sets. For a brief time in 2002, the band featured back-up singers Deanne Iovan (also of The Come Ons) and future bass player Ko, in addition to the five musicians.

Originally conceived as a “singles band”, the Dirtbombs were to record only 7” records each in a radically different style; record label In The Red Records, however, persuaded them to record an LP. Collins decided that if the band were to record a full-length album they would still treat the entire album like a giant single, centering around one musical idea or genre.
