The High-Back Chairs were formed in Washington, DC in 1989 by Jeff Nelson (ex-Minor Threat, Three), Peter Hayes, Charles Steck (ex-Velvet Monkees) and Jim Spellman (Velocity Girl). Their sound reflected a move away from the harder-edged underground music of their previous bands to more of a pop sensibility. The band played locally for the most part and released a full length (Of Two Minds) and an EP (Curiosity & Relief) on Jeff's Dischord Records. In 1991, Jim left the band to play full-time with Velocity Girl, and was replaced by Charles Bennington.
