By the late 1980s and early 1990s, Chumbawamba had begun to absorb influences from techno music and rave culture. The band members quit their day jobs to begin concentrating on music full-time as they could now guarantee sales of 10,000 and they moved away from their original anarcho-punk roots, evolving a pop sensibility with releases such as "Slap!" (1990) and the sample-heavy "Shhh" (1992) (originally intended to be released as "Jesus H Christ!", this album had to be withdrawn and re-recorded because of copyright problems). They also toured the United States for the first time in 1990.
