[edit] History
The band's eponymous debut EP The Jealous Sound was released in 2000. In 2003 they shopped around their demos for a full-length follow-up to the EP. The band were set to release an album on Mojo Records, but soon after their signing, Mojo parted ways with Universal leaving them without a distribution deal. Shuffled over to Mojo/Jive and with little interest in the band they decided to leave the label and return to Better Looking Records to record Kill Them With Kindness with producer Tim O'Heir. The album was named by Spin magazine as one of the Top 40 albums of 2003.
In 2005 they announced via their website that they had signed to The Militia Group for their second album which is to be produced again by Tim O'Heir. The official band website has not been updated since 2005, and rumor has spread that lead singer Blair Shehan has decided to quit the band. Variations on the rumor say that he has given up performing music. However, on June 1, 2006, the band posted a blog on their MySpace, commenting that work on their upcoming LP for The Militia Group is progressing. There has been no news posted since this June Myspace blog once again bringing speculation of the band's demise. They remain on The Militia Group's website but there is no news on the band's status.
