In the studio, Toy Subs consistently produced demos to shop to record labels. In 1990, they released a local cassette called "Now" based on their first demo, which also had some of the bed music they used on Star Search. Several follow-up demos recorded in 1990–92 were not released (until much later on "Toy Subs Early Years: Demos and Bootlegs”) because of a production deal they had with Steve Ames of Rampart Studios. During that time, Billy West left and was replaced by Bill Walter on bass. After parting ways with Steve, the band followed up with a pair of demos recorded with engineer/producer Alan Doss (drummer for Galactic Cowboys on label DGC at the time) called “The Red Floor Sessions” 1 and 2, the first of which was released locally on cassette in 1993.
