The Fluid had its roots in Denver’s early 1980s hardcore punk scene. Rick Kulwicki (guitar, vocals) and Matt Bischoff (bass, vocals) were in the Frantix and gained a measure of national notoriety with “My Dad’s A Fuckin’ Alcoholic,” a single that radio deejays wouldn’t even consider playing, let alone say the title over the air. James Clower (guitar, vocals), Garrett Shavlik (drums, vocals) and Bischoff were in White Trash. In 1985, rookie vocalist John Robinson joined up, and the Fluid debuted.
