Sometime in late 2004, many of Don’t Tread On Me’s demo tapes were Leaked on the now defunct 311 Bulletin Board, after someone supposedly hacked into lead singer Nick Hexum’s E-mail, stealing the files, and uploading them to the site. The leaked demos can be found here.
The band was not happy, and went as far as calling out leakers, and removing any mention of the album’s demos on the site.

Grinderman is the eponymous debut studio album by alternative rock band Grinderman, a side project of members of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, released on 5 March 2007 on Mute Records in Europe and ANTI- in the United States.

Incidentally, the musical direction of Grinderman influenced The Bad Seeds' next studio album, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! (2008).
