Early releases

Following the release of "Keeping Up With The Wellingtons" in 2005 the band toured the United States. They enjoyed strong sales of the debut album in Japan (through imported sales from Australia) and consequently Japanese label This Time Records signed the band for the release of the album. This lead to the band's first Japanese tour.

Songs from the first album were used in US channel CBS's show "How I Met Your Mother" and in a variety of Japanese television commercials.

Further releases

The band's second album, "For Friends in Far Away Places" followed in 2006 again being released in Japan (first) and Australia a few months later.

2008's "Heading North for the Winter" was again released in Japan first on This Time Records and is soon to be released in Spain (Rock Indiana), the U.K (Lojinx) and the US (Zip Records) with the band scheduled to tour all those countries in September and October in late 2008.

The bands biggest songwriting influences include Weezer, Elvis Costello, Cheap Trick, Ben Folds, The Lemonheads and Fountains Of Wayne.
