Louis Walsh confirmed his rating of the five-piece act by quickly confirming their debut performance as support act for Westlife on the Irish leg of their Turnaround Tour. "These are the only Boyband from Ireland with a chance".

The band went on to release a further single "I wanna be your lover" and with the help of Def Leppard front man Joe Elliot covered Pour Some sugar on me for which they received rave reviews from musical insiders. The band continued to work with hit songwriter Wayne Hector and Max Martin before vanishing from the music scene without reason. It is believed that some of the members had creative and personal differences.
