In October 1993, ahead of the album’s release, Tunaley was “fired from the band with a simple phone call.” He had “wanted to play heavier music”, however Kent and Rogers “wanted to play a more pop based rock”. Rogers initially considered disbanding the group but continued with Russell Hopkinson (ex- Nursery Crimes ) on drums, percussion and backing vocals. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1994 in March they won the newly created category, Best Alternative Release for Sound as Ever .
