After the release of their debut EP, (which included the original version of "3 A.M."), they were offered a multi-record contract, which 3/5 of the band favored, with Jay Stanley and John Goff opposing.
Rob, Brian and Paul went forward, signing the contract, renaming the band Matchbox 20 (later Matchbox Twenty).
