==Links to Peel==
Peel first played Pet Lamb's material in 1993 via their debut single, 'Paranoid From The Neck Down'. Further material from the group were played on his radio programmes including a session they recorded for his show in 1994. After their session was broadcast in April 1994, it brought interest from Roadrunner Records, who signed them, releasing the single "Black Mask" in late 1994, before combining the tracks from the Blunt EPs for the Sweaty Handshake LP. The album, released in January 1995, got a 9/12 rating from Hot Press.
They released the single "Where Did Your Plans Go?" in April 1995, described by Melody Maker as "noisy nonsense". In July they recorded their second Peel session. In November that year they recorded their first studio album for Roadrunner with producer Martin Bisi in New York City, called High Anxiety. Although artwork for the album, and for its lead single, "Holes", was drafted, neither were ultimately released as the band were dropped by the label in mid 1996.
