After signing a record deal with the RCA label in 2000 and putting out several singles and EPs, their debut album "See This Through and Leave" was released in 2002 to great critical acclaim. 2003's follow-up, "Kick Up the Fire, and Let the Flames Break Loose", achieved the band international recognition on the strength of the singles "Promises, Promises" and "Blind Pilots". The Cooper Temple Clause left RCA in 2006, signing to Sanctuary Records for the release of their third album "Make This Your Own".
