[edit] History

They joined forces in 2001 releasing "Days Go By,". This originally made the top 30 in 2001 but when re-issued in 2002 reached the United Kingdom top 20. They released their self-titled album in June 2002 and released a second album entitled One in 2004.

The song "Days Go By" from their eponymous album gained wide exposure in the United States of America as the background music for a Mitsubishi Eclipse television commercial. The song went on to win the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.

They have remixed a song by British singer-songwriter Shelly Poole called Lost In You.

The group played their last concert together in May 2005. Steve Smith has released another album, "This Town" independently.

"Late Nights and Street Fights" was used as the theme song for Fox TV's drama Standoff.

Their single "Closer" was used in an episode of the FOX teen drama The O.C.[1]

Their single, "Walk Into The Sun", was used in an episode of One Tree Hill. [2]
