In 1996, the Wither Blister Burn & Peel LP became a success, landing them their first certified gold album, aided by the singles “Shame” and “What Do I Have to Do?” which granted the band heavy rotation on MTV , MuchMusic , and radio. Tour mates for this album included Sponge . “What Do I Have to Do?” was featured in 1997’s Masterminds , as well as in the episode “Tempest” of Smallville years later. The band later recruited Mark Eliopulos after the Wither recording sessions were completed to handle the live element of the main guitar parts.
