Warner Music took notice of the effort, and signed the band in early 2003 on their sub-label Infectious Records. On April 03 the second EP "Four ways to scream your name" was released, and tours together with BoySetsFire and Lostprophets follow. Already in October 03 the first LP "Casually dressed and deep in conversation" is released, after the re-release of the 'Four ways to scream your name' EP, that featured three additional songs that appeared on 'Cd&dc"



The band's second album "Hours" was released in 2005 to good reception, though some fans expressed disappointment at the lack of screaming vocals and more sombre mood throughout the record.



The band's third studio album entitled "Tales Don't Tell Themselves" was released in May 2007. Mostly a concept classic rock album, this alienated many of the bands fans but shown that the band were not afraid to step outside the shell the public had created for them.



On October 13th and 26th in the UK and US respectively, the bands fourth album "Memory and Humanity" was released.
