The band continued to tour relentlessly, making connections with the likes of Jimmy Eat World , Mineral , and Boys Life , largely playing basement shows and building a dedicated fan base through word of mouth. In September 1997 the band released their debut full-length record Four Minute Mile . The album sold over 40,000 copies in two years, a major feat for such a small label, which began to bring attention from larger labels. The band was invited to join Braid on their 1998 tour of Europe, their first tour outside of the contiguous United States.
