Effective period / Period of releases: 1992

Singer Scott Ceffalia, guitarist Steve Raia, drummer Tony Passimenti and bassist Jim Mui formed the band in 1990 and have been a fixture in the clubs ever since. Early on Finster Baby made a name for themselves with their hook-laden, sleazy hard-rock sound and their over-the-top S&M glam look.

In 1992 Finster Baby recorded their debut album "Take A Lick 'An See" for Vagabond Records, a tiny independent label the band believed would give them their undivided support. High hopes for their debut release, were soon dashed by Vagabond’s decision to license the record exclusively to Mausoleum Records, a German company in the process of a U.S. expansion.
