the porch." The band kept the first take, titled it "Love Me", and made it the B-side and title track of their first EP. Only 200 copies were pressed; in a do it yourself fashion, the band made up their own record label imprint, Doheny Records, and issued it in a plain white sleeve without artwork or an insert, hand-writing the credits and other comments on the sleeves. Kicked Out of the Webelos Tulu moved to New York City after Love Me, but Queer and Rutherford continued to write new songs, bringing in new bassist Keith Hages, formerly of Los Angeles punk band the Berlin Brats. Coming up with 7 new songs in a single afternoon, they called Tulu and convinced him to return to Portsmouth to record another EP with the Queers. They drove to New York to pick him up, occasioning them to write the song "Wimpy Drives Through Harlem". Rutherford switched from drums to being the band's lead vocalist, singing in an over-the-top faux British accent. Queer stayed on guitar and sang backing vocals, while Tulu switched to drums: "I ended up doing what Micky Dolenz and Tommy Ramone had done (though obviously on a much smaller scale)," he recalled in 2007, "which was willing myself to play drums because I had a certain sound in mind which I felt was crucial for the type of songs we were doing."

By this time the lineup had solidified with Queer, drummer Hugh O'Neill, and bassist Chris "B-Face" Barnard, who recorded the band's second album, Love Songs for the Retarded, in November 1992. Wimpy Rutherford had left Portsmouth, but returned for the Christmas holidays that December. While in
