The band shot a music video for their first single off America Underwater for the song America Underwater.

In June of 2010, the song "America Underwater" became available for purchase on the Rock Band Network for PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii.

It was announced on December 30, 2010, by Falling In Reverse via Stickam, that Scotty Gee was their new drummer. Shortly after, however, he was removed from Falling In Reverse. The band hasn't given any updates for a year, due in part that Kevin Thrasher is now touring with Escape The Fate on rhythm guitar

Justin Whitesel briefly joined the band The Hollowed but left for unexplained reasons. He became a touring guitarist for many artists including Eyes Set To Kill on their summer tour with Falling In Reverse and For All Those Sleeping. He has just recently started a new band known as XO Stereo and owns Sinner Clothing.
