The band's second full-length, One Last Look, was recorded at Westbeach Recorders in Hollywood in the summer of 1997 with producer Steve Kravac (MxPx, Supertones, Doughboys) and marked Pezz's BYO debut. Received well in the press, the album also enjoyed a good bit of college radio air play. After three national tours in support of One Last Look on their own, two shorter stints with the Bouncing Souls and 7 Seconds, the band went to Chicago's Electrical Audio in March of 1999 to record a new record with engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Jawbreaker, Pixies).
