Release
Boss Buckle was released on cassettes, with music on only one side (the other was blank). Cassettes were transparent with pre-printed labels on one side, labeled "side 36". At the time the band's name was written with separate words: "36 Crazy Fists". An insert contained the track listing and a cover photo. Considering the band's quick rise in popularity in Anchorage, this release became an instant rarity. The band gave out many copies to the audience during their live performances, particularly at Gigs Music Theater and Chilkoot Charlie's. The song KneeHigh was used as a show opener several times.
After bassist JD Stuart was killed in a car crash in June 1996, the band performed a short farewell set at Gigs Music Theater composed mostly of Boss Buckle -era songs. Ryan Brownell played guitar and Steve Holt played bass.

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
