International breakthrough

After the hoped-for breakthrough with The State had not succeeded, they switched to Roadrunner Records . That was very unusual as the label was more known for metal bands. In an interview, Ryan Peake said they signed there because “people are passionate about what they do” and you are not immediately “made a product”. Now they had a lot of time for a new album, because according to Peake the four band members were under time pressure on the previous album. This time paid off: The international breakthrough came with " How You Remind Me ". This song made it into the charts and the top ten in many countries . The second single "Too Bad" was able to build on these successes. As the level of awareness increased tremendously, the band had to relocate the planned European tour to larger halls. Because of the great success her debut album Curb was re-released.
