The band subsequently signed to Epic Records, with whom Pony Express Record was released in September 1994. The album’s angular, mathematical post-hardcore earned it a devoted cult following , especially after the video for the track “X-French Tee Shirt” became a buzz clip on MTV and was regularly aired on the channel, as well as an article in Rolling Stone . The track also peaked at #36 on the Radio and Records Alternative chart. The album had sold 30,000 copies in the United States by the end of October 1994, and by February 1997 had sold 60,000 copies.
