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. [21] Guglielmino was changed with inciting a riot after one particular gig. [22] [23] Later in 2007 he released a home recorded EP Tacky Ep, and soon after he travelled to Berlin and played a number of shows with Berlin solo artist Kurt Kreikenbom. While in Berlin the single off Tacky Ep was played on indie music radio station Motor FM. [24]

Many of the videos directed by Jaymis Loveday are on Vimeo and YYouTube. Soon after, he traveled to New York and played a number of solo shows. [35] [30] [36] In 2011, he released a single '"In The Morning", it received national airplay on Triple J and he toured Australia, Berlin and London. [36] It was in Berlin, Guglielmino met Sydney musician Richard Cuthbert who is best known for his band Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers. [37]
In May 2012, Guglielmino released his second album Sunshine State on vinyl, compact disc, WAV and to all streaming media. The album launch, which was at the Judith Wright Arts Centre was listed at one of the top five gigs to attend in Brisbane by Noel Mengel of the Courier Mail [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] Soon after that show, Guglielmino toured the east coast of Australia with his band The Show.

[48] He also recorded a live track with the renowned Australian musician Kate Miller-Heidke for the web program 'Press Record'.

[50] In December 2012 Noel Mengel of The Courier Mail listed Sunshine State in his top ten albums of the year. [51] [52]
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]
