A single, "Back To Square One," was posted on the band's Myspace page and had over 60,000 plays in the first week.[ citation needed ] The second single, "Held Down," along with "Back To Square One," and other songs, have totaled over 190,000 plays.[ citation needed ]
Absolution was self-released by the band on December 1, 2007, and has sold over 2,200 copies.[ citation needed ] The band is currently negotiating with record labels regarding its formal release to radio and to the public.
