The band achieved UK chart recognition with singles like re-released Charlotte (#33), Shooting Star (#30), and No More Running Away (#45). In addition to their album work, they dropped the 2006 EP Never Even Told Me Her Name and the 2017 single Almost Human, showcasing their enduring melodic sensibilities.
