Sugar Ray formed in 1992 calling themselves The Shrinky Dinks, later having to change it (upon threat of lawsuit from the Milton Bradley Company, maker of the Shrinky Dinks toy) to Sugar Ray after the boxer Sugar Ray Leonard. The band's debut album, Lemonade and Brownies, was released in 1995, though it failed to produce a major hit single. Their early work was strongly influenced by funk metal, pop, and alternative rock.[1] This first album leaned on experimenting with those many influences, combining genres.

After they gained fame with the 1997 album 'Floored' in 1998, the single "Mean Machine" off 'Lemonade and Brownies,' was featured as one of the soundtracks of the popular PlayStation game "Road Rash 3D", as well as the Nintendo 64 (Road Rash 64) version of the game. The song appeared randomly both in-game as well as in the menus.
