In the early part of the 90's, when the Ramones were still performing CJ Ramone formed his band Los Gusanos. Los Gusanos released a 7' debut single in 1993, Quick To Cut and in 1994 released their EP, I'd Love To Save The World on 7' vinyl.

Self-titled debut album they first published as a self-published (Subversion Records) way in 1997. In the USA "record label version" was released by Mayhem Records on April 7, 1998. In Europe label was Wowoka Records (France). Cover design is different. Album was published also in some other continents.
Style was a bit different than Ramones style, but many fans also like of Los Gusanos.
CJ Ramone: I think we did a good job in the studio trying to capture the live energy. I like the heavier tracks like Dead Man's Curve, Carve Your Name and Go Again, told CJ Ramone to me (Jari-Pekka Laitio-Ramone) in 1998.
Seven years later, in 2005, he mentioned some good comments to me about how much he still likes the album.
Jari-Pekka: As you reflect today what do you find about the Los Gusanos record that you like?
- This was a good record. I still like it. I'm really proud of the lyrics and most of the songs. It was very different than the Ramones and it was way more rock'N'roll than punkrock. Plus, I am proud of the fact that I not only taught myself how to play guitar, but that I did all the rhythm tracks as well as some of the solo tracks on the record too, told CJ to me in 2005 in a interview that was published in Ramones: Soundtrack Of Our Lives.
