In 2008 they released the 'Swit Swoo' EP digitally as a covers collection. Amongst those included was 'I Was A Teenage Hand Model' originally by Queens Of The Stone Age and the Bruce Springsteen song 'Because The Night' alongside the more eclectic choice of Jake Thackray's "Lah-di-dah"

The band signed to major record label Wichita in 2008, and released their debut single on this new label, titled 'Fossil, I', on the 20th of October, 2008. There is an accompanying video for the single which has enjoyed success on MTV2 and can be viewed on Youtube.com.
