The volatility of line-ups became a hallmark of the band from then on.
From 1989 until 2002 the band had seven bass players, seven drummers, two guitarists, and six vocalists. The only thing that did not change was the band name. In 1995 Nelson, DeCaprio's wife, officially joined the band and played bass until the end. They appear on all the recordings except the Swing 7" and a track on the Farmhouse 1994 compilation album. Over the years Lesser Of Two released three singles, three albums, and were on a number of compilations. Lesser of Two toured extensively in the United States as well as Mexico, Canada, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Spain, Austria, and Netherlands. They accomplished all this while maintaining a Do It Yourself (D.I.Y.) ethic. In 1999, Lesser of Two released a cassette tape version of their self-titled album on one of the oldest punk labels in Poland, Nikt Nic Nie Wie. They were featured in the Polish Magazine Pasazer No. 13-14 which included a compilation featuring a track from Lesser Of Two. Lesser Of Two also joined with seminal Polish punk band Post Regiment for a leg of their tour. Lesser Of Two's music had a crust punk sound without following any rules of the genre. The music was characterized by incredibly fast tempos giving way to slower heavier parts. The music was also accompanied with screaming vocals, crazy noise, and political lyrics with an emphasis on the negative aspects of human existence.
Lesser Of Two was given positive reviews by Maximumrocknroll magazine, Flipside fanzine, Slug and Lettuce fanzine, HeartattaCk magazine, and many others for their albums and their performances.ĭuring the over decade Lesser Of Two was active they played many notable concerts.
