The band spent about six months playing house parties and night clubs in England, their exposure gaining them some popularity. They also maximized their exposure by touring extensively, playing in the 2007 Carling and Download Festivals, as well as embarking on a tour with DARTZ!. On 6th June 2008, lead singer Todd Marriott announced their split via Myspace bulletin. He blamed "countless problems" and said it was "a very sad day".
