On the strength of their self-titled independent debut in 1993, the band released two albums on major labels in the United States, and was widely promoted as a potential "next big thing" in alternative rock. However, the genre's commercial appeal was already beginning to fade when the band's major label debut, A Bourgeois Kitten, was released in 1996. Consequently, commercial success never materialized for the band, and after being dropped from DreamWorks, the band re-emerged in 2003 with Still in Rome.
