Formation and style
We Care a Lot was created after the band had recorded a five track demo complete with its own resources, which got the label founder of Mordam, Ruth Schwartz. Subsequently, the plate was brought out as the first album of the small independent labels. The album title comes from the eponymous song, which was again heard on the successor to Introduce Yourself in a revised version. He criticizes the situation described as hypocritical around the Live Aid benefit festival in the face of the wealth of the participating musicians. Musically are already some of the later trademark of the band, such as catchy riffs, heavier guitars, keyboards and a variety of song structures heard.
