The ten-speed; sessions were held over July 11th-19th in Alvarez's West Pilsen Apartment. The songs were recorded live by Pierce to 1/4" tape and mixed by Pierce/Thompson in Pierce's in Logan Square bedroom. The album was mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering. Sadly, ten-speed was unable to perform the release as Thompson sustained a wrist fracture biking to rehearsal the night prior. After healing the band performed a few sporadic shows before dissolving in the spring 2010. In the fall of same year Pierce relocated to Seattle, Washington.

Firewater Pinhole Camera was recorded by Mike Thomspon in Chicago, Illinois to 8-tracks/1/4" tape in a friends borrowed basement (Katie C. then D.) and Thompson's basement studio/bedroom over November 2007 to June 2008. Both Elvis and the Beatles were present for the initial session in the form of felines. One was preferred over other the other. The album was mixed by Thompson at Pragma Studios in July and Mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering.
