"Joel Morales has a penchant for the four-track recording arts, drawing inspiration from 90s independent acts like the Olivia Tremor Control, Apples In Stereo, and other Elephant Six Cooperatives, early Beck, K Records artists, and experimental recording superstars like the Beatles, Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren, and Os Mutantes. He brought this mindset of experimentation only with good songwriting and made it modus operandi for everything dios (malos) would do musically. ^[2]After a few shows the band changed its name to dios, the spanish word for god, and continued recording numerous demos with Joel and Kevin's growing backlog of songs. Kevin moved from the drums to second guitar contributing many of his own songs he had recently begun writing. They were joined by new drummer Jeffrey Enzor and begun playing any show they could get on, while recording demos entitled, "dios demo 001" and "dios demo 002".

The band sent the demos to various bands and magazines, eventually getting write-ups in various local magazines and in one very important recording magazine called Tape-Op, which was a favorite of the band because of the d.i.y., home recording, experiment-minded ethos the magazine celebrated. A demo eventually got into the hands of the band Grandaddy, whose drummer Aaron Burtch took time to write back and let the band know how much they had enjoyed the demo. Over the course of a few emails the band was encouraged to come to the Central Valley to play a show at a venue called The Mustang some time in 2002. A strong friendship was formed between the two bands, and Grandaddy eventually covered one of the songs from the demo entitled, "love you, grrrl", which later appeared on the "dios (malos)" album a few years later. The song was almost released as a b-side to a single on Grandaddy's Sumday album but is currently still unreleased."
