The band released 2 albums, Addiction through Circular Records in May 2006 and Dark Passenger through Neon Tetra Records in 2010.[1][2] They were named as the best unsigned band by Rob da Bank on BBC Radio 1 in April 2005, by Karmadownload.com and won best new band on BBC Radio Scotland three weeks in a row.[3]
