Being self-produced and distributed, the band created a street team to sell copies of the album in order to get the attention of labels for future projects.

Copies of the EP sold out quickly and boosted the band's reputation into gaining a record deal with Trisol Music Group.

Initially, the band had wanted to spend more time on mixing and perfecting the album but felt that the version they had was surprisingly satisfying for them so they chose to release it immediately.

[1] Following the release of 10,000 Watts, Dope Stars Inc. immediately signed a record deal with Trisol Music Group to produce two albums.

Butler felt that Dope Stars were heavily influenced by Deathstars and Marilyn Manson, going as far to say "you'd be hard pressed to tell one band from another."

[2] Another review from Alternation gave the album a 75% rating citing that "the musicians couldn't make up their minds as to the amount of electronics they should include in their tracks."
