G.B.O.H. EP (1996) Riverfenix (1997) Fenix*TX (1999)

Riverfenix is the first full-length album by Riverfenix, released on December 16, 1997 on Drive-Thru Records. It was later re-released (with some changes) by MCA and Drive-Thru Records, when Riverfenix was forced to change their name, as the self-titled debut album of Fenix TX. This album has since been out of print and is a treasured collector's item among fans as "Skinhead Jessie", "Jaw" and the untitled tracks are not featured on the Fenix TX version release. "Apple Pie Cowboy Toothpaste" and "Jolly Green Dumbass" also featured short intros while "Rooster Song" had a slightly different sound and featured a small message within the silence leading into the second untitled track. The songs shared between the two albums seem to be slightly faster on this release as well as Will Salazar's vocals seem to be noticeably more audible and sung at a slightly higher pitch.
