After impressing Sub Pop with their self-production work on a single titled “Measure”, the label allowed the band to self-produce their 1993 effort Four (the title referred to the album as the band’s fourth major release). Sub Pop promoted the album more heavily than their past albums, releasing more versions of this album and having their songs featured on more compilations. Around this time, Seaweed toured with the bands Bad Religion and Green Day , a tour that Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt joked as “The BadGreenWeed Tour”. Four contained the single “Kid Candy”, which was most prominently featured in a season four episode of the TV show Beavis and Butt-head . “Losing Skin” was also released as a single from this album, and would be more prominently featured on the soundtrack for the video game NHL 2K7 13 years later. Seaweed also got another shot at exposure, as their cover of Fleetwood Mac ‘s hit song ” Go Your Own Way ” was featured in the 1994 film Clerks and its soundtrack (the song was initially released as a standalone single one year earlier however).
