The band was planning to self-release the album after they recorded it, but then they landed an unexpected deal with A&M when Jeff Suhy, one of the label's representatives, called the band's frontman, Chuck Cleaver on the phone.  Suhy told Cleaver that he had pitched a recording of the album to A&M executives, and that they had approved it for release.
