Even with market saturation high, however, the band members decided to take a six-month break in 1994 while Reis recorded a second and final album with Drive Like Jehu. Many of the band's vinyl singles and other rarities were compiled and released as All Systems Go, while Interscope re-released Circa: Now! and pushed for the band to continue touring in support of the album. Signing to Interscope įueled by a label interest in Drive Like Jehu, both Rocket from the Crypt and Drive Like Jehu signed to Interscope Records in 1992, with Rocket negotiating a deal that included the freedom to record vinyl releases for other labels. Around this time Reis announced in a fanzine that all fans with Rocket from the Crypt tattoos would be allowed into the band's shows for free, for life, causing tattoos of their logo to become an international phenomenon. Their second album Circa: Now! was released in 1992, followed by their first tour and music videos for the songs 'Ditchdigger' and 'Sturdy Wrist.' The band also added a second member to its horn section, bringing in trumpeter Jason 'JC 2000' Crane. We did that for, like, a three-year period.' They're hearing something that is completely fresh–this is something we're doing at the moment. And by the time people were able to get them, it was still under a month. We recorded some songs for Sympathy for the Record Industry, and two weeks later, we had some finished copies of them. 'It was really immediate that's why we loved putting out singles early on. They released many vinyl singles around this time and began to attract a dedicated underground following. They developed a reputation for their creative and energetic live shows, taking unusual measures to encourage audience participation such as handing out homemade lyric booklets and noisemakers. The band soon added a horn section, recruiting saxophone player Paul 'Apollo 9' O'Beirne. When Sean and Elaina moved away from San Diego, drummer Adam Willard joined the band under the stage name 'Atom.' The rest of the band also assumed stage monikers, with Stamets performing as 'ND' and Reichert as 'Petey X.' He was also simultaneously performing in Drive Like Jehu, who recorded their debut album around the same time. At this time Reis began to use the pseudonym 'Speedo' when working with the band. This lineup lasted roughly six months and recorded the band's debut album Paint as a Fragrance, released in 1991 on local label Cargo Music. The band took their name from the then defunct 1970s underground punk band Rocket from the Tombs. Envisioned as a punk-inspired rock and roll band, Rocket from the Crypt's original lineup consisted of Reis, guitarist Andy Stamets, bassist Pete Reichert, drummer Sean, and backing vocalist Elaina.
