The band played a few gigs in Boston and back in their home city of Brooklyn before starting an extensive tour of the United Kingdom with the whole of 2003 being played in places such as Glasgow, Manchester, Norwich, Leicester, London & Middlesbrough. Nineteen of those dates where played with up and coming Welsh band Funeral for a Friend.

Instructions original EPs released through Gravity DIP Records as well as the widespread success of their UK tour led to a loyal following of the band which led to an appearance at the Download Festival in 2003. After a series of gigs after the Download Festival with Biffy Clyro and Hundred Reasons the band was signed to Geffen Records for the release of their first major album, "God Doesn't Care"

Before the release of the new album the band recruited Joseph Grillo to the band on guitar/vocals from Garrison, a band that Instruction toured with during October, 2003.

One of the songs from the hotly anticipated album, "Breakdown" was already gaining cult status and the video of the subsequent song topped the bill of Fuse TV's Ovenfresh show, beating off competition from the likes of New Found Glory, Beastie Boys and The Libertines.

The album was released in August, 2004 to massive critical acclaimcite web

] and Instruction were now well on the way to stardom. After breaking into the UK the band tried their luck in the US and played gigs in various American cities (Texas, Detroit, New Jersey, Ohio et al.) along with more established names in the rock business such as Puddle of Mudd,Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Korn & Helmet and gained some airtime on Radio One in England

However in 2005 the band's relationship with Geffen had turned sour leading the band to eventually announce a hiatus on 5, August 2005 after their final tour of the UK. They played their final show in Truro, England cite web
