Two years later, in March 2004, they released the single Laugh, Point & Wave on the Music For Nations label, which went to number 1 on the Kerrang! TV video chart.

Touring with the band InMe, they gained popularity and new fans, releasing their third single, 'Thirteen Days' in June and then their debut album, 'Raw Nerve' in July, both with Music For Nations.
