Signed with Radioactive Records

In 1993, Dig signed with Radioactive Records and issued their first full-length album that year, the self-titled Dig . It was produced by Dave Jerden , who was well-known for producing ’90s albums by bands such as Alice in Chains and Anthrax . The album peaked at No. 153 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 6 on the Billboard Heatseekers charts. In order to support the album, Dig toured the US with the likes of Prong , Rage Against the Machine , and Blind Melon . The single “Believe” was played regularly on MTV ‘s Buzz Bin and it had reached No. 19 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart and at No. 34 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart . Although “Believe” was the band’s hit song, the record labels had done an unlikely move, and issued four other singles from the same album, although they all failed to chart in the United States. Overseas in the United Kingdom, Dig had fared a bit better on the UK Singles Chart , as “Believe” peaked at No. 83, “Unlucky Friend” peaked at No. 96, and “I’ll Stay High” peaked at No. 97, all in 1994. The single “Unlucky Friend” had featured four tracks recorded by Dig while on Mark Radcliffe ‘s FM radio show when they toured the UK alongside Rollins Band .
