The band completed a sold out UK tour in March 2006 and spent the summer playing festivals, including Reading/Leeds, touring Europe and playing in Japan.

On August 9th 2006 it was announced on the band's official website that guitarist and vocalist Paul Townsend would be leaving the band following their tour of Japan in early September. The departure is said to be "totally amicable". Ben Doyle of The Lucky Nine has since joined the band as guitarist.

Deluded fans had literally been queuing round the block (mainly Claire Gallienne) in anticipation of the bands 2006 album. Claire was overheard saying "The time is right, the time is now and the world needs Hundred Reasons". Sadly Claires enthusiasm didnt help the bands sales with the album limping in at a lowly 79 in the UK charts.
