Understand were a "Post Hardcore" band from Southend who had the dubious pleasure of signing to East West in the early nineties, they released an ep through east west(Equal vision) in the states which was very raw and was very different to their full length debut album, "Burning Bushes and Burning Bridges" which was released in 1995 and preceded by a vinyl only single "Around for nothing" and proper single "Southend" - East West did zero to promote the band and 2 months after the albums release wanted them to begin work on album number 2.
