 Having heard the band's first album, John Peel asked the band to record a Peel Session.Unable to afford to tour internationally, the band recorded their session in Fugazi's home studio using an 8-track recorder previously owned by Minor Threat, the first time a Peel Session was recorded outside the BBC studios.Primarily featuring energetic versions of songs from their first two albums, Dead Meadow's session was officially released in 2011 as "Peel Sessions", and includes two additional tracks recorded during the same period.
