An IPR jewel from 1992.
This 7’’ followed the previous year’s Naked EP, which was the Dentists’ first US release (also on Independent Project Records). AllMusic would later call them “arguably the first Brit-pop band” [⬇️]

A posthumous release that’s also a celebration of the artist’s lifelong quest for a sound that, stripped to the bones, is all the more powerful and cathartic for its restraint, Piqued was recorded by For Against’s Jeffrey Runnings at home on an old 8-track cassette machine.

A closer look at Piqued, the final album from For Against chief songwriter, lead singer, bass player and only constant member Jeffrey Runnings. Now available on vinyl (traditional black or translucent magenta), Special Edition CD and digital.
