(1995)"For Respect" is the debut
album byDon Caballero , a Pittsburgh-basedmath rock band. "For Respect" was released onTouch and Go Records in 1993.Though
Ian Williams is credited on guitar for this album, he only joined the band shortly before "For Respect"'s recording and had little substantial creative influence. As a result, this album is much less orchestrated and complex than Don Caballero's later work.Track listing

The shadow of the Canadian sketch comedy show "
Second City Television " looms large over this entire album:
*The band took its name from an episode of "SCTV" in which TV station manager Guy Caballero became a Corleone-esque mob boss called Don Caballero.
*On the back cover of the CD insert, drummer Damon Che is photographed sitting in a wheelchair dressed as Guy Caballero.
*The audio samples in "Got a Mile, Got a Mile, Got an Inch" are all from "SCTV".
*"For Respect" is Guy Caballero's justification for using a wheelchair. ("I thought you rode a wheelchair?" "Oh, I just use that for respect" is one of the samples in "Got a Mile...".)
*"Subdued Confections" is yet another quote from "SCTV".In a [http://spacecityrock.com/features/doncaballero1.shtml 2006 interview] with the e-zine "Space City Rock", Damon Che revealed that he played guitar on some Don Caballero songs, including the choruses of "Well Built Road".
