She followed up with Lydia Taylor Band in 1981, breaking through to wider radio airplay and sales. The album produced a single, "Some Guys", which charted on radio stations across Canada. With this second album, her management team at Falcon Records also secured distribution in the USA on Passport Records. Around the same time as her Juno Award win she released her third and final recording, the five-song EP Bitch. The album was an especially strong seller in Western Canada. The album was also released in the USA on Passport Records, and Taylor and her band toured through the eastern and southern USA in support of the release.
