Recordings prior to 1996 continued to be released by Flipside, including the band's first three albums: You Suck Crap (1992), A Total Letdown (1994) and Who's Sorry Now (1995).[5][6][7] These albums were positively received by critics, with Alternative Press crediting the band with embodying "all the confusion, resentment, anger, and frustration felt by an entire generation."[8] The band released their fourth studio album Outlive Your Enemies on Mattress Recordings in 1998.[9][10] The band also participated in several of Flipside's Mojave Desert events. Subsequent material has been released by the band's own label, Mattress.
The fifth full-length The Finger and a compilation of earlier songs Decade One was released in Europe by dependent. Most recently, a deal with Metropolis Records has resulted in the wider commercial release of the sixth album Cavecraft.[11] A post to the band's Myspace site on October 9, 2009, confirmed the long-lived group's breakup. In 2013 the live albumLIVE EXECUTION was released and documented a live performance made on January 1, 2009, at The Smell in Los Angeles.[12]
Live performances
Known for their live performances, Babyland shared the stage with bands such as The Offspring, Ethyl Meatplow, Grotus, Legendary Pink Dots, Dystopia, Foetus, Add N to (X), Nitzer Ebb, VNV Nation, and Psychic TV. Most of their live performances occurred in underground locations that have included places like LA's Jabberjaw, Kontrol Faktory, The Smell, Long Beach's Bogart's and 924 Gilman in Berkeley.[13] Many of their shows integrated a canonical industrial music ethic that involved building sets with items like scaffolding and functional televisions, which the band destroyed with hand and power tools over the course of the show.[2]
