With the subsequent departure of Haslam, the band began to reduce their more obvious progressive rock influences in favour of a stronger element of 1970s glam rock and a more pronounced "indie" outlook. Circa 1996, Pop-A-Cat-A-Petal changed their name to Ultrasound. Despite the more commercially acceptable developments of their sound, the renamed band was initially no more successful. Following a year of struggling to keep going, Ultrasound released their first single "Same Band" on Fierce Panda in July 1997. It brought them some favourable press in "NME", who described it as "(sounding) like The Who's "Tommy" - in its entirety - squeezed into four-and-a-half minutes... utterly heroic and bizarrely, by some distance, their most understated moment." This led to the band performing in the "NME" sponsored Unsigned Showcase event. In turn, the Unsigned Showcase appearance led Ultrasound to a recording contract with Nude Records, following a bidding war between various record labels excited by the band's powerful live presence. At around this time, Matt Jones was brought into the band on keyboards to expand the sound. The band's first two singles for Nude were "Best Wishes" and "Stay Young" (1998), the latter of which reached No. 30 in the UK Singles Chart. The band received favourable reviews for their recorded output, while receiving a good deal of press attention for their energetic live gigs, unusual appearance and determined outsider appeal. Wood, in particular, became a frequent interviewee and subject of attention in the British weekly music press, making a virtue of subjects usually avoided or discouraged in pop music discourse (such as his relative older age as a rock star debutante, his obesity, and his unfashionable enthusiasm for progressive rock). In October 2011, "NME" placed "Stay Young" at number 109 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". The band compounded their 1998 success by playing a string of music festivals, culminating in a critically acclaimed performance at the Glastonbury Festival during a torrential downpour. One more single followed in October 1998, "I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours" (about a relationship gone sour), and the band toured with Placebo. During 1998, Ultrasound worked in the recording studio on their debut album, "Everything Picture". The band released their fifth single, "Floodlit World" (a re-recording of a B-side from the "Same Band" single) in March 1999.
