Album History
[edit]Seconds Before The Accident was recorded in November 1998 at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In the liner notes it says, "...songs selected by band based on listenability." The album was recorded during the band's final tour which supported their last studio album White Trash Heroes,[2] but was not released until two years later in 2000. It is not known if all the songs are from the same show, or in the original order played at the actual show, because the show date is not stated.
