The Next Step (1998) Question in the Form of an Answer (2000) O.S.T. (2002)

Question In The Form Of An Answer, released in June 2000, is the second album by People Under The Stairs. The lead 12” single, Youth Explosion, sold the full run of 15,000 copies pressed in its first month, and was not repressed in order to promote the second and third singles The Cat and We’ll Be There – each of which went on to sell 15,000 copies. The album was critically acclaimed for its eclectic and diverse range of beats rooted in Jazz and Psychedelic Rock and P.U.T.S. continued with another set of world tours to support the record, this time adding Japan and Australia to their routing.

Following the release of the second album, Thes One began to coordinate strings of successful world tours for PUTS culminating in performances at the UK’s famous Glastonbury Festival in 2001 alongside Kelis and successful shows at the Reading, Leeds and infamous Essentials festival in London where the group was joined with Biz Markie, Ice T, Jeru, Masta Ace and De La Soul on the final Sunday of the festival.
