In June of 2004 they recorded Cover Your Tracks.
Following its release, the band has moved on from smaller shows to Ozzfest. After Ozzfest, the band went on a few tours before recording their new album, Beauty And The Breakdown, released July 11, 2006, on Victory Records. Guitarist Slim B. had this to say about the new album (courtesy of The PRP):
"As a band, we feel this record is the equivalent to Dr. Dre's The Chronic. We are excited as hell about this record - Jason challenged us to try new things and pushed us to do some things that may surprise people, while retaining and building on our sound. We can't wait to get back on the road and start playing live again, but recording has been the best experience possible."
They have also announced Aaron Patrick as their new bassist, following Rich Casey's departure. The band was also featured on the Family Values Tour. As of November 2006, the band went on tour with Killswitch Engage.
