The four that made it to Music were all tuned down one half step. Before the official release of Hydroponic, the band made hand-written "pre-release" promo copies of the new EP and sold them at various shows as well as "Joe Voda's Drum City", which was Chad's mother's store, who now works at Dietze's Music in Bellevue, Nebraska.

Most of the copies were hand-written by Chad Sexton himself and have been spotted on eBay.
Grassroots is the second studio album by American rock band 311, released on July 12, 1994, through Capricorn Records.

This marks P-Nut’s first studio effort recorded with a 5-string bass guitar. The album was certified gold in 1999 by the RIAA, having sold over 500,000 copies.
