Release and reception
Following the success of the Daddies' 1989 demo tape 4 From On High which helped build the band a dedicated local cult following,Ferociously Stoned set a near-record for all-time advance sales in Eugene,Oregon's record stores,coming in second only to R.E.M. [2] [3] Upon release,the album became a regional success,remaining for over a year on The Rocket 's Northwest Top Twenty list and receiving favorable reviews in The Oregonian and Alternative Press . [3] [4] At one point,the Daddies were planning an animated music video for the song "Teenage Brainsurgeon",though ultimately scrapped the idea due to production costs. [5]
Ferociously Stoned was originally released on vinyl and CD by independent label Sub Par Records,the vinyl cover depicting three bikini-clad women clutching stones against a backwards American flag,and the subsequent CD release featuring only the band's name with censor bars over the words "Cherry" and "Poppin'". In March 1991,when the Daddies had temporarily shortened their name to "The Daddies" to alleviate the controversy surrounding their name,the album was re-released with the shortened band name and new cover art featuring a skeleton in formal wear,modeled after the Grateful Dead 's "Uncle Sam" skeleton. [6] [7] In 1994,coinciding with the release of the Daddies' second album, Rapid City Muscle Car ,Ferociously Stoned was re-issued on CD,restoring the band's full name and including the tracks from their 1989 demo tape 4 From On High as bonus content.
