groups - most notably, Long Island's wildly successful hardcore outfit Bayside. Ensuing auditions produced drummer Brian Alien. To make up for lost time, the band immediately began writing for a new record and went back to Tracks East in NJ to lay down what would be "Boysrock", their second CD. The lineup for Boysrock was as follows: Joseph Nienstedt (Vocals/Guitar) Tommy Rockstar (Bass) Brian Alien (aka: Alien) (Drums) Latex Generation was a completely different band by the time they recorded Boysrock. They had been through numerous line-up changes and had matured greatly since the early days. The end result was a record that sounded nothing like their previous recordings. Fans of the older material had mixed reactions to the shift in style demonstrated on Boysrock and the band found themselves playing less and less of the old material live. The recording showed the bands versatility & passion, and has since become regarded as their "Pet Sounds". Recording Session No. 7 The songs that appeared on Boysrock Latex Generation's 2nd CD, were: Laugh It Off 6th Sense 21 (of age) (recorded with Hugo on drums from the previous session) Cycle (recorded with Hugo on drums from the previous session) Tank Stellar One For the Bastards Come Along Sorry Ass, We're Going Places (recorded with Hugo on drums from the previous session) Ilona Stanley's Response Inspiration on TV Desperosity ( with Jessica Mills on Saxophone - formerly of Less than Jake) Mac ( with Jessica Mills on Saxophone - formerly of Less than Jake, this song was written by Patrick Walsh) Campsite 54 Other songs recorded during that session (but not included on the album) include: Closed Casket (pulled from Boysrock at the last minute and later commercially released on a Onefoot Records CD Compilation) Trash (with Hugo Lowbrow on lead vocals and rhythm guitar) After they recorded Boysrock, the band performed on a variety of short tours in the US, including a slot on a tour supporting The Bouncing Souls, a tour with Pennsylvania's Digger, and a string of dates on the Vans Warped Tour in the US. They headed to a studio in South Carolina to record 2 songs for the record label Fast Music that were to appear on a split 7-inch record with the band Digger. The 7-inch never came to fruition, but one of the songs was released on a compilation for the label Fast Music. Recording
