They got a demo deal with V2 Records and went to Sweden to record two songs on a trial basis.[1] They went on to release three singles and one album on V2 Records. "Don't You Worry", the most successful of the three singles, reached number 14 in the UK and number six in Australia,[2][3] also being certified platinum in Australia and reaching number 20 on the Australian year-end singles chart of 2000.[4] The album The Way It Is failed to break into the top 75 of the UK Albums Chart (entering at number 153[5]) and they were dropped due to poor sales, in January 2001, with the group subsequently breaking up.[6]
