What can I say. If you're working through the back catalog of Bishop Allen - you will end up here. The beginning. This is one side of a split 45 with Gerty Farish. I am only including the tPO tracks.

This article snippet from a vice.com interview from 2014 with Caitlin White spells it out -

Before you had this indie pop sound though, you and Christian were in a punk band right?
We technically met in English 10A at Harvard, but we really became friends through running into each other at a Jawbreaker show. We bonded over our mutual love for The Misfits and Black Flag and stuff like that. So we started a punk band together called the Pissed Officers. It was a little insane. We thought we were playing anthemic rock like Stiff Little Fingers or something. But we just played every song as fast as we could. And we had a really athletic drummer, so our set was so fast—I’m talking 17 songs in seven minutes. They were just these really short bursts of white noise. Like one song was called “Be Nice to Bikes.” We thought it was forthright, funny and catchy, and it turned out it just sounded like “BLERHG.”
