In 1999, the band appeared on a split CD release with Swedish band Dozer. The Unida portion was titled The Best of Wayne-Gro EP. Later that year, they released their debut full length album entitled Coping with the Urban Coyote on the now defunct Man's Ruin Records.
Relations with their next record company in New Jersey, American Recordings, ended with legal problems. Their second album, The Great Divide, was originally scheduled for release in 2001 but is now in limbo. The album has surfaced on the internet in bootleg form. In a 2002 interview, bassist Scott Reeder spoke out about the delay in getting the full-length album released.
"Everything was set to come out on American via Columbia Records, and you know, we've been meeting a lot of people who've been working on it," he explained. "The artwork was done, everything was looking really good, and then, I guess, (American owner) Rick Rubin had a falling out with Sony, moved the whole label over to Island Def Jam, and apparently, after months of being just strung along — 'Oh, yeah, the release date got bumped back a little bit' — finally we found out that somebody at the label didn't like the record, so they didn't want to deal with it. The lawyers had to go back and forth for months and months and months — a chess game where every move takes two months... 'You have sixty days to reply to this letter'...and...so we just got out of the deal, a month ago."
Since the delay, John Garcia has released three studio albums and one live album with Hermano and toured with the band in the latter half of 2008. In 2004, Unida appeared on the High Times Records' High Volume: The Stoner Rock Collection, contributing the track Left Us To Mold. Garcia is also working on a solo album. Arthur Seay (principal song writer, guitarist) and Mike Cancino (Drums) along with their longtime friend Eddie Plascencia (who also has been filling the bass duties in Unida recently) have started a new band called House of Broken Promises (H.O.B.P.). H.O.B.P. have also filmed a video with Rick Kosick (from Jackass fame) to coincide with the release of their forthcoming album "Using the Useless".
Unida's song "Black Woman" was featured on the soundtrack to the skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Underground.

Unida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On
High
When she said the dog
Gone
High
Blast through the front
Door
High
Blast through the back
Doo
You're all mine
Oh
I am the one day
I am the sun lay
Only if you and in your head
Something is wrong babe
Just come to me said
I am the only one for you, Yea
When you move your hips
babe, so fine
When you move your head
babe, looking alright
When you shake your ass
babe, your looking so fine
And when you said your heart breaks
You better shake it down
I am your only just because lonely
I am the one because you're true
I am your only, something is lonely,
Something is wrong because you're true
You are my only, something is gone now only because
And if you're true
You got me right, you got
You got me right, yeah, you got me
The first verse of Unida's "Wet Pussycat" opens with "When she said the bones on high, when she said the dog gone high, blast through the front door high, blast through the back doo, you're all mine oh." These lines establish an eerie, seductive tone to the song as the singer is enticed by someone’s mysterious words, promising ownership over them. The use of repetition with the word "high" throughout the verse also creates a sense of intoxication, further emphasizing the notion of seduction. The singer seems to be lured in by the enigmatic nature of the person they are referring to.
The second verse shifts its focus onto the singer themselves, as they proclaim to be the only one for their lover. The lines "I am the one day, I am the sun lay, only if you and in your head something is wrong babe, just come to me said, I am the only one for you, yea" suggest that they believe they have the solution to any problems their partner may be experiencing. This possessiveness is further emphasized in the chorus as the singer sings about their lover's movements and how they belong to them. The final line, "You got me right, you got you got me", reveals that the singer has fully surrendered to their lover, implying that they feel trapped in their grasp.
Overall, "Wet Pussycat" is a song that explores themes of seduction, possession, and surrender. The lyrics suggest a relationship that is intense, mysterious, and possibly dangerous. The repetitive use of words like "high" and "only" create a hypnotic effect, drawing the listener further into this dark, alluring world.
