Ryan Dahle wrote "Remote Control" on his own, words and music, and The Age of Electric sent it out front as the first single from Make a Pest a Pet in 1996. That record turned out to be the Canadian alt-rock outfit's third studio album and their last, and this was its calling card: a Top 10 hit back home in Canada. Phil Nicolo mixed it.
Make a Pest a Pet went further than anything else the band released, their only album to crack the Canadian Albums Chart and a Gold record in Canada by 1998. For its 20th anniversary the band gave it a remastered, expanded double-vinyl reissue in 2017, adding 4 songs from the sessions that had never come out before.
