===''Friendly People'' and tours=== By 1994, ''Full Length'' had been available for almost four years and the members of Guttermouth were preparing to write a second album. They originally considered releasing the album themselves, but were soon approached with an offer from Offspring singer [[Dexter Holland]], who in the wake of his own band's success was starting an independent record label and wanted to put out Guttermouth's next album as his first release.<ref name="pharmacy"/> They agreed and recorded the album ''[[Friendly People]]'' as the first release on Holland's new label [[Nitro Records]], and filmed an independent music video for the song "End on 9." Guttermouth would remain with Nitro over the next five years, releasing an album each year on the label. 1994 also found the band playing to a much larger audience. The success that year of The Offspring's album ''[[Smash (The Offspring album)|Smash]]'' and [[Green Day]]'s ''[[Dookie (album)|Dookie]]'' had brought the southern California punk rock scene into the national spotlight. Thanks to their friendship with The Offspring and their new record deal with Nitro, Guttermouth found themselves embarking on their first national and world tours opening for larger punk bands.<ref name="pharmacy"/> However, their typically outrageous behavior would often find them at odds with the other bands, audiences, and venues at which they played. After about six months of touring with this reputation the band found themselves banned from performing in numerous cities and clubs and blacklisted by many of the bands with whom they had hoped to tour. To the band, however, this behavior was typical and in keeping with the anarchic ideals that were at the core of the punk movement.<ref name="pharmacy"/> At one point, the band found themselves ejected from a tour while in [[South Carolina]], where they booked themselves at a club and recorded a performance which would later be released as ''[[Live From the Pharmacy]]''.<ref name="pharmacy"/> Adkins was arrested and briefly jailed in 1995 on charges of inciting a riot during a Guttermouth show at the [[Glen Helen Blockbuster Pavilion]] in [[San Bernardino, California|San Bernardino]], but evidence was insufficient to file charges.<ref name="press release">{{cite web|title = Guttermouth press release (.pdf)|publisher = [[Volcom Entertainment]]|url = http://www.volcoment.com/admin/uploadFiles/Misc/Guttermouth_STP_Bio.pdf|access-date = 2009-11-17}}</ref><ref name="LA Times">{{Citation|title = O.C.
