In November 1992, the band entered the Record Plant in Sausalito, California, to record their self-titled debut album and although the record, released in 1993 through Music For Nations, did not shift in large quantities Freak Of Nature's relentless work ethic brought in many admirers. In 1992 Ex- House of Lords guitarist Dennis Chick was brought in to replace Steffensen, and the band was finally official. After six months of rehearsals, Tramp and Steffensen had an argument resulting in Steffensen leaving the band to return to Denmark. The band used programmed drums and another drummer up until drummer Johnny Haro joined the newly formed band. Ex-Lion bassist Jerry Best joined the pair shortly after, as did ex-Strike Twice guitarist Kenny Korade. Three songs from the same sessions later ended up on Freak of Nature's debut album.

The album was titled Brothers For Life and was Tramp's progression from White Lion to Freak of Nature. The pair spent weeks in Tramp's house in Santa Monica, California, resulting in several songs which were later released under the moniker "Mike and Oliver".
