Churn is the debut studio album by American post-grunge band Seven Mary Three. It was independently released and preceded the band's mainstream breakthrough, American Standard. Churn also included two songs that would be re-recorded and go on to be among Seven Mary Three's biggest singles. Of all the songs on the album, "Kater" was the only one that wasn't re-recorded for the band's major label debut, as the band sold the song off to a Chapel Hill based band called Stuntcock, who intended to release their own version of it as 'Casey the Madison King", though it is unknown if that ever came to fruition. The album was re-released several years later with different album artwork. It was again re-released on December 9, 2008 via digital music sellers and the band's website.
