The Pets came together in 1999 and began to record power pop songs using a computer and rented portable studio equipment. In between recording sessions, which extended over about eight months, they played a few live shows locally. They then approached
Endearing Records, which released the tracks as an album,
Love and War, in 2000; by this time The Pets had disbanded. The album was reviewed favourably and received considerable airplay on
college radio in
Canada, particularly in
Winnipeg. ==References==
