In a 1997 interview, after his band had signed with Sony's Epic/550 label and released their second album, Whatever and Ever Amen, Ben Folds spoke about both Passenger and The Low Road: The Passenger Records label was dissolved in the mid-to-late 1990s. Artists either continued their contracts on with Caroline Records or signed with other labels.
