 They released the album "Live Fast, Diarrhea" to positive reception and supported it with tours throughout the United States and Europe, including a spot opening for fellow Orange County rockers No Doubt.The album and band garnered increased attention thanks to an episode of the popular television show "The X-Files" in which actor Giovanni Ribisi played a character who wears Vandals T-shirts and listens to their music.1996 saw the release of "The Quickening", a slightly more nihilistic and aggressive album that was supported by a music video for "It's a Fact."
