New York City hard-core band H2O began as a group of friends headed by Sick of It All roadie Toby Morse, world Health Organization would perform a song called "My Love Is Real" at shows where in that location was no opening act. Crowd response encouraged the dance band to give music a unplayful try, and their initial membership featured Morse (vocals), Rusty Pistachio (guitar), Eric Rice (bass), and Max Capshaw (drums). H2O's ability to write catchy, melodious riffs spell retaining hardcore's full-throttle surge, as well as their straightedge sensitiveness and obvious lovemaking of hardcore originators like Minor Threat, got them a following along the East Coast. After a European tour in 1995, Capshaw left the band, and ex-Outcrowd members Todd Morse (guitar; Toby's brother) and Todd Friend (drums) joined. H2O open for such bands as the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rancid, and No Doubt, and their self-titled debut was released in 1996. Their second gear record album, Thicker Than Water, was issued by Epitaph in 1997; it featured new bassist Adam Blake (ex-Shelter). F.T.T.W., the band's tierce record album, was released in 1999. Two years later, the dance band signed to MCA and issued Go!. The All We Want EP appeared in accrue 2002.
