entered the Whitehouse Studios in Weston-Super-Mare to record the "Another Weekend" 7" which was limited to only 100 copies and hand-numbered. It was around this time that they earned the attention of Golf Records who offered to distribute the band's EP and album via Plastic Head Distribution. As luck had it Golf thought more of the band over time and when the band's debut album sold out, Golf signed the band up for a three-album deal, offering to re-release the debut album first. In the summer of 2001, the band underwent a self-organised tour of Japan. Although the tour was a great success it did bring to the band's attention their growing displeasure with bassist Daryl Barrett-Cross who was fired from the band on their return to the UK. Daryl went on to form the gore-metal band Amputated. 2002–2003 The band continued to gig, headling many shows or playing with such bands as Snuff, Consumed, King Prawn, MU330. They had the help of temporary bassists Stef Snowdon and Hambis DeLaney before enlisting Mark "Frank" Francis into the band, previously of the band The Merics who were a favourite of BBC Radio One DJ, John Peel. Frank was to play two small shows with the band before they embarked on a tour of Norway with Norwegian bands Late98 and Shitzoo. The album What You Are Like Says A Lot About The Kind Of Person You Are came out on Golf Records while the band were away. Released with a new cover and including the three tracks from the "Another Weekend" 7" and one previously unreleased track entitled "Here We Go Again". More touring followed and the band hooked up with Manager John Sheller, whose previous skills had seen him managing the UK rock band FM (British band) on a tour with Bon Jovi. The relationship, however, was short-lived. BBC Radio One show The Lock Up played the band a lot, which was great support. The TV channels P-Rock and Scuzz TV were playing a lot of the band's friends at the time (notably friends Whitmore and 4ft Fingers) yet Mr.Zippy chose to abstain from making a video to appear on the channels. The band entered Mighty Atom studios (Mighty Atom Records) in 2002 to record their second album Ambition Is Critical. During the recording, they were visited by a young Funeral For A Friend who were just recording their first demo.
