=== 2001: Signing to Hellcat Records ===
After contributing the song "Crack City Rockers" to the second installment of [[Hellcat Records]]' ''Give 'em the Boot'' compilation series, the band was signed to the label, initially being contracted to produce three albums for Hellcat. The band agreed, and promptly began recording songs for their first full-length album, tentatively titled ''Shoot the Kids at School''.

Hellcat Records refused to release the album, due to concerns over the album's controversial title, artwork, and subject matter (especially regarding the recent [[Columbine shootings]]). The band eventually relented and changed the album's title, art, and track listing, under the promise that they would be released from their contract afterward as a result. The album was eventually released under the title of ''[[Mediocre Generica]]'', a sly attack at Hellcat Records, who Stza claimed wanted a "mediocre, generic" album compared the original. The album was released on September 11, 2001.

At this point, the band now consisted of Stza (vocals, additional guitars), Alec (bass), [[Ezra]], and [[Ara Babajian]] from NYC [[ska]] band Agent 99, and later [[The Slackers]], on drums.
