followed in 1992 on Safe House Records, featuring Huff on lead vocals for 'Daddy Was a Preacher But Mama Was a Go-Go Girl'. SCOTS released two EPS in 1993, the half-studio half-live Peckin' Party (Feedbag Records) and Girlfight on Sympathy for the Record Industry. 1994 saw the release of the more country-flavoured album Ditch Diggin''', again on Safe House, with cleaner production and slightly shorter, tighter songs. The album also featured covers of the Louvin Brothers ('The Great Atomic Power') and Link Wray ('Jack the Ripper Pts. 1 & 2') which had been part of live shows. In 1994 they began convening and headlining an annual roots-rock music festival entitled Sleazefest, held late summer in Chapel Hill. SCOTS' increasing popularity created major label interest and they signed to Geffen subsidiary DGC in 1995. The following year saw the first recorded version of 'Camel Walk' appear, on a Mexican wrestling-themed EP entitled Santo Swings! SCOTS' first DGC album, Dirt Track Date which featured re-recorded versions of popular songs from previous releases ('Eight Piece Box'; 'Camel Walk'; 'Voodoo Cadillac'; 'Firefly') amongst new material, including 'Soul City'.

Miller later commented that the record recouped its costs, but Geffen wanted 'hits' and offered contract renewal conditional on production of a radio-friendly song within the next 3 months, plus touring with ska-punk bands popular at the time. SCOTS declined. Without a label, SCOTS toured steadily for a few years. Zombified (1998) was a limited, independent release themed around horror movies from drive-ins and late-night TV. SCOTS' next widely released album appeared in 2000, Liquored Up and Lacquered Down, on TVT Records. The multiple alcohol-themed songs reflected the band's previous two years, said Miller. The deal with TVT was short-lived and it took another four years for the next original SCOTS record to appear. During this
