Story behind the song
T-4 was written as like an anti-song. We were involved with people who were very much into very mainstream commercial rock-pop, and while we had some material that fit, it was not really where we wanted to go. The tone and lyrics were written to deliberately grate on the nerves and be annoying, and were wildly successful in that regard. Producers HATED it and none of them got it. Bear in mind, there was no Indie music at that time, and Punk, Thrash and New Age were still years away. In a sense, we were in the vanguard, but had no idea. At some indeterminate point a few years later some of the producers were asking me to play the tape for their colleagues, and seemed to be warming to it, but it still had the capacity to drop jaws anywhere in the music business. The consensus was- we could never release that! The late Bill Britt on bass and piano, the late Brian Murphy on drums and Phil Doyle on guitar, recorders and vocals.
