 The band never signed a recording agreement with a major label but released "Waste and Tragedy" through Cargo Records, signing a production and distribution deal with label owner Randy Boyd in 1995.Boyd had been successful in capitalizing on the expanding "indie rock" music scene including becoming the first distributor for many Sub Pop artists and the Epitaph Records label in Canada.Shortly thereafter Boyd sold Cargo Records Canada to Alan Fox a successful entrepreneur with no music industry experience.
