Zipgun orginated from The Derelicts in 1991. Robb and Neil had been jamming and Robb had also been playing with Dan (of The Obituaries and Final Warning). Mark (of The Zanny Guys and many others) was also invited in. They put out many 7"s and toured because of Neils connections made from being in The Derelicts. They put out their first LP titled "8 Track Player." It was recorded by Jack Endino and released on Empty Records. Then went on tour to suport the album, playing at venues like CBGB's. But in Baltimore their van got stolen leaving them with nothing, not able to finnish the rest of the tour.
Although they did get the title for the title of their next album, Baltimore.
