Tina and the B-sides were dubbed in the Midwest "the best bar band in the world" by enthusiastic writers and were voted Best Pop Group of '93 and '94 in the Minnesota Music Awards. Laura also got a nod from the MMA's for "Best Female Vocalist" in 1996.
They soon drew the attention of the major labels including Atlantic Records. But Tina ended up with Sire's Seymour Stein, a man who had previously signed such female pop-rock superstars as Madonna, Chrissie Hynde, Deborah Harry and k.d. lang. The band released their major label debut Salvation in '96.
