Look What I Almost Stepped In...
Look What I Almost Stepped In... is the eighth studio album by the southern California punk rock band The Vandals, released in 2000 by Nitro Records. It was recorded in April 2000. It was the band's final album for Nitro, as they moved to their own label Kung Fu Records the following year. Composition. Much of the album is characterized by the pop-punk music and humorous lyrics for which the band is known. Although regular Vandals drummer Josh Freese is credited as a band member and appears in band photos in the  album's liner notes, he was unavailable to play on the album due to other musical commitments. The band therefore called on regular substitute Brooks Wackerman, who had filled in for Freese on several occasions as a touring drummer. Wackerman himself is an accomplished drummer who would join Bad Religion the following year. The album also features guest appearances by Dexter Holland of The Offspring (who also co-wrote "Jackass"), Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D, musician/actor/screenwriter Scott Aukerman, and members of the New Jersey band Bigwig. Release. "Look What I Almost Stepped In..." was released  in August 2000. In October, the band embarked on a tour of the UK, with support from the Ataris and Bigwig. Between June and August 2001, the group performed on the Warped Tour.
