During this time Guglielmino also released many DIY albums on CDR., [17] [18] [19] [20] In 2007, his notoriety was further fuelled by a controversial publicity stunt involving Lost of Love, a band which he co-fronted and co-founded with James O'Brien of The Boat People and solo musician Jackie Marshall.

After meeting Richard Cuthbert in Berlin in 2011, Guglielmino immediately started planning a split cassette-only single with him. The release was delayed due to several setbacks involving Cuthbert and Guglielmino's management firms who both disagreed with the intended format. Cuthbert's training as a lawyer eventually allowed both artists to receive approval from their firms for release, with a slight compromise, the cassettes had to include download codes. The press release for the cassette and tour were revealing of the internal frictions including quotes from their management firms criticising the release. [37] [53] [54]
