Our major label debut was in 2003 with the Elektra Records release 'Where You Are' produced by John Kurzweg (Creed, Puddle of Mudd). The first single went top 10 on the billboard charts and was track number 2 on the CD titled "Down". We hit the road as support for Seether, 12 Stones, Default, Taproot and others. Our second single "Everyone" made it into the top 20 on the charts and we sold over 100,000 CDs. We went to the MTV studios, performed on Last Call with Carson Daly and we also were on The Orlando Jones Show. Crazy stuff dreams are made of. At the end of the year, the tour bus rolled back to our home, Blountstown Florida, and we started writing our 2nd record. During the time we were working on the record, our label folded and 80+ bands were without a label... including us. So, we recorded the record with producer James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional) in Orlando and turned it over to be distributed via Fontana/Universal Records. Prior to the release we did a short tour with our friends Blue October. We then wrote a song for the 20th Century Fox motion picture "Supercross" which is out now on DVD. That song is also on our new release "The Beauty of Letting Go" and is titled "Get Out Alive". Shortly after the new CD came out, Brandon left the band, Irock (our new label) folded, management dropped us and we couldnt afford the tour busses or road crews - but we hired a drummer and hit the road in a van on a 3 month tour opening for Sevendust and Nonpoint. We took a short break and then went out on our own 3 month headline tour of the U.S. followed by a month of supporting slot shows for Candlebox, Blue October, Vast, Alice in Chains, etc. The touring ended at Floyds Music Store in Tallahassee August 26th, 2006.
