In 2007, the band signed with Cherrytree Records, part of Interscope, to release their material in America, Asia and Australasia. After a series of well-received performances at the SXSW festival, an EP led by the track "Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me" was released on 5 June, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. The album was released in North America on 2 October, where it reached No. 18 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart, and in Asia on 17 October, with both releases containing new bonus tracks. Both of these versions of the album were remixed and produced by Greg Wells, thus resulting in a differing sound from the original European release.
