"City Walls and Empires" went on to win WAM song of the year 2006. In August Love is My Velocity released its first CD album by Perth band Bamodi. They plan to release their second CD-LP by the Burton Cool Suit in October and their third in early 2008 by Josh Fontaine.

In May 2007 the label expanded into publishing, releasing the Love is My Velocity Cookbook, a guide to Perth music and art made within the cookbook format. The cookbook features recipes provided by 48 local Perth bands and artwork by 60 emerging artists.
