Pariah was formed in San Antonio, Texas by high school friends six years prior to the emergence of their debut record. Pariah were signed by Geffen in 1991, and after a succession of delays caused by the re-writing of material, the search for a producer and other problems,their debut album eventually surfaced. Produced by Tom Werman, 'To Mock A Killing Bird' features re-workings of four songs from the independently issued debut record.
