After two full U.S. tours, BLUETIP enlisted the production guidance of Ian MacKaye to recorded their debut album, "Dischord No.101" (released 06.96 on Dischord Records). More touring followed, leading the band through the U.S., Europe, and Japan. BLUETIP strengthened their songwriting while keeping the melodic vs. dissonance high-energy style their live performances showcased, cranking out their second full-length, "JOIN US" (released 11.98 on Dischord Records), produced by J. Robbins. The band spent much of the next year and a half playing shows.
