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:
“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.”

“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”

“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
