The brothers then teamed up with former Government Issue and future Burning Airlines drummer Peter Moffett and Seattle native and ex- Concrete Blonde bassist Al Bloch (brother of Seattle Sub-Pop legend Kurt Bloch from the Fastbacks). The quartet's first single "Little Darlin, is a widely regarded punk single.

Box Set (Wool Album)
''Box Set'' is an album by the American punk rock band Wool, released in 1994. Despite its title, ''Box Set'' is a studio album. Production The album was produced by Rob Schnapf and Tom Rothrock. Chris Bratton replaced Peter Moffett on drums prior to the recording of ''Box Set''. Wool included a fake history of the band in the liner notes to the album, alleging encounters with famous musicians over the course of three decades; they successfully fooled several journalists. "God Rest His Soul" is a cover of the Gregg Allman song. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' thought that "weird production (the second Van Halen album would seem to be a significant model) and an ungainly stab at MTV presentability makes the de-punked ''Box Set'' a dreadfully uneven—and occasionally dreadful—album." ''Entertainment Weekly'' called "Take a Look" "a 12-minute opus that bridges the gap between trippy Fillmore-era jam sessions and '90s grungefests." The ''Telegram & Gazette'' stated that " ...
