The band had jobs to make ends meet. Weiland chauffeured models (including his future wife Mary, who was 16 at the time) and got a graphics job by pretending to be a student at the Otis School of Art and Design. He drove a 1986 Nissan pickup at the time. For a time Robert worked occasionally as a counter clerk in soda fountains, he later worked at a record store. Weiland and Dean DeLeo lived together for a time in a flat in Los Angeles, which they believed to be haunted. The band was thirsty to get outside of Southern California, and when the Seattle Grunge scene broke out in late 1991 and record labels began seeking out alternative rock acts, STP would finally get their shot. Steve Stewart recalls the band getting signed by Atlantic Records in April 1992, “The band was signed off the Mighty Joe Young cassette, when a very hard-working A&R guy at Atlantic named Tom Carolan came to see them after hearing from his best friend Don Muller, to whom I had given a demo tape and invited to a show. Don became their first booking agent and is one of the top music agents in town today. Tom's immediate boss was Jason Flom, who also believed very much in the band. Danny was being brought in to run Atlantic on the west coast at that time and was also there for the signing.”

バンドはなんとか仕事をやりくりしていた。ウェイランドはお抱え運転手付きを演じ（後に妻となるメアリーも一緒、この時点で16歳）オーティス芸術デザイン学校の生徒の振りをしてグラフィックの仕事を得た。この時彼は1986年製のニッサンピックアップを運転していた。一方ロバートはこの時期、ソーダファウンテンでフロントのバイトをしており、その後レコード店員となった。

ウェイランドとディーン・デリオはロサンジェルスのアパートで暫く共同生活を営んでおり、二人はそこに幽霊が居ついていると信じていた。バンドは南カリフォルニアから外へ出ることを渇望しており、1991年の終わりにシアトルグランジシーンがブレイクするや否や、レコード会社はこぞってオルタナティヴロックバンドを探し始めたのだ。遂にSTPにチャンス到来というわけだ。

スティーヴは1992年4月にバンドがアトランティックレコードと正式契約したことを振り返り、
『バンドはマイティ・ジョー・ヤングのカセットで契約したんだ。大層仕事熱心なアトランティックの広報マンだったトム・キャロランが、親友のドン・ミューラーから聞きつけて馳せ参じてくれた。ドンは僕がカセットを手渡して、バンドのライヴへ招待した人物なんだ。そしてドンはバンドの最初の渉外エージェントとなった。今でも街一番の音楽エージェントの一つさ。急遽トムの上司はジェイスン・フロムと相成った。彼がバンドに太鼓判を押してくれたのさ。ダニーは当時、西海岸でのアトランティックの経営を任されていたんだが、この契約の際にはその場に居たんだよね』
