"Coming Up Through: Red Mountain Alternative" in September of '96. After working with Producer Steve Parrish at Red Mountain the band went back in to the studio this time to do a full length CD.
Lets Go! The Chollas first CD was recorded in the Spring/Summer of 97. Its release in 1998 saw the band gain an instant hit with fans of rock and roll injected power pop all over the world It's jam-packed with hooks, guitar licks, and choruses that can be appreciated by Power Pop and Rock 'n Roll/Alternative fans alike.
