Upon signing to Epic, the band entered Longview Farm recording studios in Massachusetts, along with producer Steven Haigler and session drummer Jonathan Mover due to problems with Abbott. The band's full-length debut, "Sunburn", came out in 1998. "Shimmer" was again included and peaked at No. 2 on the "Billboard" Modern Rock Tracks charts, No. 11 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, No. 37 on the Adult Top 40 chart and at No. 42 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, as well as Platinum single sales in Australia; while, the other singles ("Bittersweet" which peaked at No. 15 on the "Billboard" Rock Mainstream charts, "Jesus or a Gun", and "Sunburn,") received some airplay. The songs "Shimmer" and "Sunburn" are also featured on the charitable album "Live in the X Lounge". "Sunburn" was also featured in the movie "Scream 3", and the band contributed the non-LP track "Walk the Sky" to the 1998 American "Godzilla" film. The band hit the road in support of the release. Once again due to problems with Abbott, Mover was enlisted, this time to play drums on tour while the band sought out a full-time drummer to join. Liner notes for the cassette and CD issues of "Sunburn" list the band members as Carl Bell (guitar), Brett Scallions (vocals), Jeff Abercrombie (bass), and Kevin Miller (drums), although Jonathan Mover is credited with playing all the drums and percussion on the record. The band picture includes Miller, though he did not play on the record. The album Sunburn was the band's first Gold and Platinum selling record.
