Background notes
Archive material and source history
Substance started in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, originally calling themselves Edge of Sanity. They played small clubs for a few years before signing with Raw Power Records in 1995.
Their debut album 'Born Again' came out that same year. The title track became their breakthrough, mixing hard rock with some grunge and industrial touches. Another song from that period, 'Heresy,' showed their willingness to tackle uncomfortable themes.
Some listeners found their sound abrasive and their lyrics confrontational. They faced criticism from conservative groups, but kept making music on their own terms for a while after that initial burst of attention.
