Buttsteak

Buttsteak was an American alternative rock group consisting of several members over the years including singer/guitarist George Bowen, guitarist Ron Spencer, keyboardist/singer Julie McDermott, bassist Scott Hendrick, and drummer Ron Oswald. The band was formed in Norfolk, Virginia in the late ‘80s, and they spent several years in that city before moving north to Baltimore, in 1993. After arriving in Baltimore, they quickly acquired a small but enthusiastic cult following in Maryland's largest city as well as in nearby Washington, DC. 
Buttsteak's first album came out in 1994, when the small, Baltimore-based Merkin label released Shit...Cool It's the Honeycomb Generation. After their debut, Buttsteak signed with the better known Go-Kart Records and provided two albums for that company: their sophomore effort Moroccan VD and their third album, Men Who Pause. That album turned out to be Buttsteak's swan song; not long after that album's release in 1996, the band broke up.

Peel played their debut single in February 1990 on his radio programme. Further material from the band were played by the DJ including a session they recorded in 1992. After 1993, Peel seemed to have lost interest in them.
