Special Guest

Special Guest was one of those "everybody's-first-band" bands made up of high school students from Utah Valley who listened to too much Link 80.

They played 50 some-odd shows over two years at venues like American Fork Veteran's Hall, Wrapsody, Saylor Nine, Boothe Brothers, Timpanogos High School, Timpview High School and every last basement or backyard that their friends would let them invade for a house party.

They often shared bills with their local buddies in Marko Polo, Backline, I'm With Stupid, Caffeine Kid and Cute Band Alert, and Instant Winner.

They released one EP titled A Poser's Farewell. It was recorded by Mike Farr of the band Chump in his Orem, Utah basement. Jeff passed out after attempting an unusually long scream in Mike's closet vocal booth.

They broke up because everyone wanted to start emo or hardcore bands, just not together.
