[1] Since then, the band has been very active and has been nominated at various award shows such as the NU Rock Awards, Myx Music Awards, IFM Pinoy Music Awards, and SOP (Pasiklaband).

On March 11, 2009, the band released their 2nd album "Nut House" features their carrier single "Radical" [2]

In late 2015 Ivan Garcia left the band for personal reasons. He was later replaced by former Eraserheads and The Dawn bassist, Buddy Zabala. The band also announced that their upcoming album would be released in 2016.

On 2018, the band released a 6 track EP titled "The Other Way Around" [3]
