Mainstream breakthrough: 2006–2008
In early 2006, the band teamed with Motion City Soundtrack for a Winter/Spring tour. "Hey There Delilah" was first released on their second album "All That We Needed" in 2005. The same year the band was featured for a month as a "Hip Clipz" artist on the website of Curly Grrlz Skateboards. In 2006, "Hey There Delilah" was re-released on their third album "Every Second Counts". Later, in 2008, Hey There Delilah became the first Grammy nominated song for the band. The band then spent months recording between festivals and shows from April to July 2008, culminating with the release of a single from their 2008 album Big Bad World. The album had two hit singles: "1, 2, 3, 4" and "Natural Disaster". Both were on the AT40 at numbers 1 and 2 for three consecutive weeks.
As of late 2008, the band was on tour with the Rock Band Live tour with Panic At The Disco, Dashboard Confessional and The Cab.
In 2008 the band played at the Give It A Name festival in the UK.
