They also won the WBRU Rock Hunt in 2002 and the Ernie Ball sponsored Battle of the Bands in 2003.[2]

They have announced on their Myspace page that their first album exclusively under Island/defJam is titled Break Through The Silence and is slated for release on September 22, 2009. "One in a Million" was the first single, released on August 25, 2009.
