In 1994, D.C. post-hardcore innovators Shudder to Think released Pony Express Record, a polarizing Rubik's Cube of a major-label debut that becomes, for those who ultimately learn to love it, the best record ever made.

Just down the road from Baltimore, the site of Virgin Mobile Festival, lies our Nation's Capital, a city with a rich punk ethos and the original hometown of Shudder to Think, one of the most innovative and revered acts to put out albums on D.C.'s famed Dischord Records.

After their Sunday afternoon set on Virgin's North Stage, reunited '90s indie luminaries Shudder to Think were kind enough to stop backstage and have a chat with SPIN.com's Peter Gaston. Below, watch Gaston and the guys talk about relearning their old songs, the possibility of new material, and blowing their recording budget on catering.

After years of side projects, solo acts and soundtracks, Shudder to Think have stopped the shenanigans and reformed to bring the rock -- the delightfully bent, seductive rock -- for their first official tour in a decade.
