when they formed as Lawn-Chair-Blisters before changing their name to Unsane. The band signed to Circuit Records and recorded tracks with Wharton Tiers
for what was supposed to be their first album Improvised Munitions, but the label ended up never releasing it.
Unsane then became a part of a scene of loud, noisy, like-minded rock groups in New York City's East Village
in the early 1990s. They often played gigs with bands like Pussy Galore
, Cop Shoot Cop
, Surgery, Helmet
and the Reverb Motherfuckers. Members of Unsane concurrently played in other bands such as Boss Hog

The band toured heavily, and released Total Destruction
in 1993 on Matador Records

wipeouts.
The band continued touring heavily (including a stint opening for Slayer
). Their next album Occupational Hazard
was released by Relapse Records
in 1998. Later that same year - in seeming fulfillment of the album's title - Spencer was attacked by four people after playing a concert in Vienna, Austria. He ended up in hospital suffering internal bleeding and underwent major surgery. As a result of Spencer's injury, and touring over ten months of the year, the band decided to take a break in 2000.
