While touring in the U.S. in 1984, the band played in Los Angeles with punk legends Dead Kennedys . It was at that show that they were spotted by Bill Sassenberger, owner of Toxic Shock Records . The band signed a record deal with Bill, which resulted in the album Screams from the Gutter , which sold more than 40,000 copies strictly through independent distribution and shops. Almost simultaneously, BCT released a Live in the USA tape (BCT 17, 3/85), compiling some of their best shows.
