Eddie Schwatrz is based in Nashville, but at the time he was a struggling guitarist living in Toronto. He told us: "I was in a kind of weird therapy when I was in my mid-20s, it was called bio-energetics, I believe. One of the things we did was punch pillows, I guess it had something to do with getting out hostility I went to a session where we punched the pillows for a while. It all seemed kind of strange, but I remember walking outside of this therapy session and standing on the doorstep of the building I'd been in, this small house in Toronto, and the title just came to me, Hit Me With Your Best Shot.... I haven't been to therapy before or since. Maybe I should go back."
