Rough Trade filed for bankruptcy in 1991, but not before releasing

Rough Trade filed for bankruptcy in 1991, but not before releasing Leary’s solo project, The History of Dogs . The following year, Butthole Surfers shocked many fans and critics by signing with the major label Capitol Records . In 2017, Paul Leary reflected: “I grew up listening to The Beatles and Grand Funk Railroad and Dean Martin , and the thought of being on the same record label that they were on was too fucking weird, really weird. A lot of people gave us grief for doing that, but fuck: I wasn’t going to turn that down.”
