Shortly after the release of Destroy the Opposition, all of the band except for John Gallagher quit. Gallagher brought in new vocalist Vince Matthews, guitarist Mike Kimball, bass guitarist Sean Beasley and drummer Eric Seyanga.

The black and white part of the cover of the album is part of a photograph taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, the American sociologist and photographer, called "Power house mechanic working on steam pump". [4] The steam pump has been shown in color while the original photo was completely black and white.

A video was produced for the song "One Shot, One Kill".

Two tracks from the album were used in Viva La Bam , "Schematics" in the second-season episode "Tree Top Casino" and "Forced Elimination" in the third-season episode "Angry Ape".[ citation needed ]
