Chatterbox began following both the Crucified's disbanding and his touring stint with Mortal, in 1994 by Jeff Bellew.[3] Bellew created the band, inspired by Ministry, Mortal, and Circle of Dust. Jyro Xhan of Mortal helped produce Chatterbox's first demo, though Bellew would have preferred he would have been more "hands-on".[3]
Garret Morgan joined as a guitarist, and the two co-wrote the debut album.[3] The album, Despite, was produced by Klayton Scott,[4] and they received offers from labels such as Blonde Vinyl Collection and Tooth & Nail Records,[3] eventually signing with the latter, with their debut album being the seventh release on the label.[3][5] The album featured performances with Mark Salomon, and others. With the album completed, Bellew and Morgan took the band on tour with Focused and Unashamed, with Focused's bassist and Bellew's longtime friend Dirk Lemmenes joining on bass live and Chris Reid, who recorded on the album, on drums.[3] While on tour, however, Bellew learned that his mother passed away from cancer. Once the tour was over, Chatterbox essentially embarked on hiatus.[3]
In 1999, the band released a second album, which was a compilation of demos, with the first three being from the Mortal demo, the next five being recorded with the full band, the next two being between Reid and Bellew, and the final song being Reid only.[6] The album, titled The Nothing Inside You, was released through Rotting Audio Sound Recordings.[6]
