In winter of 1996, they recorded another five song demo at Egoless with Clay Zimmerman, the other guitarist who is away for college. With two of the songs, they put out a 7" record theirselves, which came out last March or so. With Clay back at school, they remain a three-piece again, trying to write new, and better songs. The response from the 7" had been pretty good and they were also featured on a Compilation CD which was put out by a new label out of Goleta, California called "World Domination in 13 Easy Steps" with 12 other popular bands.

Proudentall is a rock band from Kansas City, MO. They officially formed as a four-piece in May of 1996 but have since remained a 3-piece since the second guitarist, Clay Zimmerman, left Kansas City for college. The band recorded a seven song demo tape at Egoless Recordings in Lawrence, Kansas in July. There were only about 60 tapes ever made, and most of those were given away or sold at shows for $1.00. They played their first show at the Daily Grind in June, now defunct, with The Get-Up Kids, Boys Life, and Karate. Other shows that summer were with Giants Chair, Boilermaker, Pee, Karl Hendricks Trio, and Uncrush.
