The Go Team regularly released 7" singles on Calvin's independent record label K Records throughout the year 1989.

Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Billy Karren, The Legend!, Dave Nichols of The Canannes, Donna Dresch of Team Dresch , Lois Maffeo, and Jeffery Kennedy were some of the artists the duo worked with.
