jar of flies

Jar of Flies is an Alice in Chains studio EP, released on January 25, 1994. It was recorded at London Bridge Studio in Seattle from September 7 to September 14, 1993. Jar of Flies was the first and only EP to reach #1 in the US album Billboard chart. The name comes from a high school science experiment of Jerry Cantrell (Singer/Lyricist/Guitarist). He took two jars, filled one with flies and food; the other with two flies and no food. The flies without food ended up eating each other.
