After fulfilling their contract to Sub Pop, Seaweed signed a contract with the major record label Hollywood Records . Their 1995 album Spanaway became the band’s major label debut, and their most successful to date. The single “Start With” became Seaweed’s only appearance on a Billboard chart, peaking at No. 38 on the Alternative Songs chart in 1995. “Free Drug Zone” and “Magic Mountainman” also got released as promotional singles. In the summer of that year, Seaweed was notable as being a part of the lineup for the first ever Vans Warped Tour ; however, unlike many of the other bands, they would not make any more appearances after that year. They also opened for Screaming Trees throughout 1996. Despite the label’s initial large financial advance and marketing promises, the album did not sell well as expected. It took the band over a year to be released from their contract.
