BYO Split Series Volume I is an album by Leatherface and Hot Water Music, the first entry in the BYO Split Series.[3][4] It was released in 1999.[5]

Production

The bands recorded the album after a joint 1998 tour of America.[6] They embarked on a second joint tour, in 2000, to support the album.[7]

"Andy" is about former Leatherface bass player Andy Crighton, who had committed suicide before the band reformed.[2]

Critical reception

Trouser Press called "Andy" "a blistering return," writing that Leatherface's half of the album "picks up where The Last left off, obliterating the five-year gap between studio recordings."[8]
