DESCRIPTION:
Playing for me the best songs of the Band 'Stepstranger'.... Playing also 'You Make Me Thik' 'Fate' all from Fyulaba album 1996. This configuration debuted with a small-run EP on the Hom Wreckerds Music imprint, Beautiful, Unlike You and I, but the band was soon signed to a three album deal by the high profile punk label Epitaph Records. Via Epitaph, they released Something Green and Leafy This Way Comes in 1993, The One Voted Most Likely to Succeed in 1995, and FYULABA (the compromised version of the band's intended title, Fuck You Up Like a Bad Accident) in 1996. This era found them playing increasingly melodic music, displaying bi-conditional influence from the third-wave punk sound of the early '90s that also owed a debt to the band's own previous innovations.Their five years with Epitaph marked the most commercially successful activity of their career, as the band shared touring bills with many of the era's punk rock luminaries, performed with opening support from up-and-coming bands like Korn and Tool,[8] and sold over 100,000 albums.
In late 1997, Epitaph Records opted against renewing the band's contract.[4] Shortly thereafter, the band announced the departure of Brent Belke and Dave Rees, both of whom were leaving to pursue careers in film and television. Let's Get It Right the First Time, a live album recorded during one of the final shows with this lineup, was co-released by Megaforce Records and the band's new, self-run label Rake Records the following year.
