They then recorded an album entitled "Call It What You Want" for Squint Entertainment, containing tracks produced by the band and by Mario C, will.i.am and Prince Paul. The album was sold as a bootleg copy at live shows and online until officially released on Squint as "CIWYW", in addition to a release a promotional EP titled "Big Broke L.A." that contained tracks from "Call It What You Want".

LA Symphony independently released the "Baloney" EP in 2002. Originally, 1000 limited edition copies were pressed, hand-numbered and shipped in resealable sandwich bags. "Baloney" was later re-pressed.

Following the "Baloney" EP, LA Symphony was signed to Gotee Records. They then released "The End Is Now" in 2003, "Less Than Zero" in 2005 and "Disappear Here" in 2005.
