This newly revamped trio of Sparkes, Skarendahl, and Sharland subsequently signed to RCA and released their first album "The Trick to Life" on 22 October 2007. The band have spoken of their desire to write songs that are about more than just "boy and girl... finding love on a Friday night on the lash with your mates". In February 2008, they were named as Worst Band at the annual NME awards. They were produced by ex-member of Jamiroquai, Toby Smith, until his death in 2017, and managed by Steve Morton.
