After recording a demo in 1987 and playing Sunday afternoon matinees at the famous CBGB's, Sick of It All signed a record contract with Revelation Records, who released a self-titled 7" EP. In 1988, the band terminated their contract with Revelation and signed with the now-defunct Relativity Records, who released their first two studio albums as well as a live EP. In 1993, they ended their five-year tenure with Relativity and signed with East West Records. In 1998, Sick of It All terminated their U.S. record contract for the fourth time and signed with Fat Wreck Chords. Around 2005, they ended their seven-year tenure with Fat Wreck and signed to Abacus Recordings, who released one album for the band before the label went bankrupt; they would remain signed to Abacus' parent label Century Media, until 2018 when they resigned to Fat Wreck Chords.
