Stripped by the Fire Ants

---

Stripped is the only album by the American rock band the Fire Ants, a "super group" that formed during the big major label-signing era of Seattle bands. Members of the band included Brian and Kevin Wood (brothers of Andrew Wood, formerly of Mother Love Bone), Chad Channing (formerly of Nirvana) and Dan McDonald (former bassist for Native Messiah and Strait Face). Prior to the Fire Ants, Kevin and Andrew Wood both performed in the band Malfunkshun.

In 1992, the main recording sessions were produced by Jack Endino at Reciprocal Recording in Seattle, Washington. Endino is best known for producing "Bleach" by Nirvana and his work with Sub Pop artists such as Mudhoney and Soundgarden.

The original six song EP was released by the Seattle record label Dekema Records in 1993.
