Union Underground started in Texas back in 1996. It really just started with Patrick and Bryan then they got me and Josh. They went through some people before the found the right line up.

Patrick had the name floating around, "An Education In Rebellion", and the spurred June Car who did that photographs for that record and Bryan, our singer who had taken that title, and we weren't' sure that was going to be the name of the record. They got together and looked through this model catalog and found this girl. They idea was to have her dressed up in front of this chalkboard.
