Released Last Call for Vitriol

With the absence of a major label or producer to influence their sound—although Raskulinecz was originally committed to the project, he had just signed on to produce an album for Foo Fighters in Los Angeles—Superdrag continued to evolve at their own pace, and in 2002 Last Call for Vitriol once again redefined the band’s sound. Some of the songs moved toward a heavier, more alternative sound, while others were of pure Americana influence. Brandon Fisher had left the band prior to the release of In the Valley of Dying Stars , and Mic Harrison had eventually taken his place, adding a much more Americana feel to the guitar style. Prior to Harrison’s arrival, guitarist William Tyler toured with the band.
