Oh my gosh, you won’t believe this! So, Generator was actually in the studio when the bombs started dropping on Baghdad during the lead-up to the Gulf War. Can you imagine? They found out about it from Tim Yohanon, of Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll. And get this, they were just as appalled as he was! So, when Tim asked if they had anything for a protest EP, they didn’t waste any time. They immediately recorded two songs: Fertile Crescent and Heaven Is Falling. And guess what? Those songs ended up on the famous “New World Order: War #1” split 7-inch with none other than Noam Chomsky. Can you believe it? Brett was so shocked and disgusted by how people were treating the war like a baseball match that he even thought about leaving the country. Can you blame him?

You should, and I totally understand.
