“South Texas Deathride” by Union Underground

"South Texas Deathride" is a cut from ...An Education in Rebellion, the only studio album the Union Underground, an American nu metal outfit, ever made, released through Columbia on July 18, 2000. Bryan Scott wrote the words, he and Patrick Kennison wrote the music, and the two of them co-produced it with Don Gilmore, who produced and engineered, before Brendan O'Brien mixed it.

They'd earned the deal the old-fashioned way: a self-made 1997 EP sold more than 5,000 copies and caught the ear of Columbia A&R man John Weakland, and after playing for three label reps they were signed to the Portrait imprint by John Kalodner, who said he'd bet his bottom dollar they'd still be around ten years on. As it turned out, this was their only major-label album and their last before they broke up.
