played shows throughout the Los Angeles area, several record labels
approached the band with interest, but the band signed with Velvet
Hammer, an imprint of Columbia Records. They made their first album
with producer Greg Wells during the summer and fall of 2005 at his
studio, Rocket Carousel, in Culver City, California. The album was
scheduled for release on June 6, 2006, but the group was dropped by
Columbia two months before the album came out. The lead single of that
album, "Apologize", was released on April 30, 2006, on Myspace and
received some recognition there, becoming number one on the Myspace
