Overview

The band released their debut album All My Real Friends independently, and subsequently signed to Roadrunner Records in 2003. Roadrunner re-released that album in March 2004. This album subsequently spawned the Canadian hit singles "All My Real Friends", "The River of Styx" and "The Getaway". The album was also released in the United States in the fall of 2004. In Canada MuchMusic aired the videos for All My Real Friends and The Getaway. In the United States the video for The Getaway aired on Fuse (then mmusa).

In April 2006, as reported in the Wigan Evening Post, the band was in Platt Bridge, Wigan, working on their next album. They wanted to get away from Canada and work somewhere quiet. Whilst working in the studio in Platt Bridge they played gigs in Leigh and in The Tavern in Wigan.

This album was released on their new website in January 2012. According to this website they are working on a third album.
