They released their self-titled Wind-up Records debut album on June 24, 2008. The debut album reached #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart on the strength of the charting single "Angels on the Moon".[1][2] After half a year, "Angels on the Moon" appeared on the US Pop 100 Chart, reaching number 28.
The band was chosen for the Yahoo! Music: Who's Next? User's Choice Competition.[3] They were up against 3 other artists, including We The Kings, Shwayze, and Mandi Perkins. The contest launched August 14, 2008. They also featured as a MySpace Karaoke Artist where fans submitted audio or video of themselves singing a song by the band.[4]
In 2009 they performed their single "Angels on the Moon" on Jimmy Kimmel Live[5] and The Rachael Ray Show.[6]
On April 21, 2010, while recording their forthcoming album, the band announced that Bassist Bret Cohune had decided to "pursue different opportunities.[7]" Early in 2010 their first single "Angels on The Moon" went certified Gold in the US selling over 500,000 copies. Their second studio album, Through Yourself & Back Again was released on September 14, 2010.
