Produced by the Ted Templeman for Warner Bros Records, the album reached #34 on the Billboard 200 chart. Correspondingly, the band received heavy rotation from MTV. The videos for 'Smooth Up in Ya' and 'For the Love of Money' were ever-present at the time.

With the addition of drummer Jimmy D'Anda, the band started turning heads quickly in Hollywood, including that of Templeman.
