After touring to support the two EPs with the bands Thursday, MxPx, From Autumn To Ashes, Grade and The Juliana Theory, they signed with Trustkill Records in 2002. In 2003, Trustkill issued The Dream, a collection of the band’s out of print EPs. They released the album "You and Me" in 2005, and toured through 2007.
