Moist was launched in Vancouver in late 1992; the alternative rock band played for the first time in January of the next year and recorded a self-titled cassette in February. Vocalist David Usher, guitarist Mark Makowy, keyboard player Kevin Young and bassist Jeff Pearce still needed a consistent drummer, though; they finally found Paul Wilcox, just in time for a date at Canada's Music West Conference in April 1993.
After several regional tours, the band was signed by EMI April Music (Canada) in October and to Chrysalis(U.S.) in May 1994. Chrysalis reissued the band's self-released album, Silver, in August of that year.
The band released their second album, Creature, in late 1996. Creature was incredibly successful, and continued to sell as Moist toured across Canada on their Creature Tour and later in 1997, the Gasoline Tour. That summer, Moist played on the Eastern dates of Canada's Edgefest tour
Moist's third album, Mercedes Five and Dime, was released in June of 1999. Right after the release, Moist returned to co-headline Edgefest with Hole.
