Original guitarist and Dearborn's high school friend Jay was dismissed from the group later that year and was replaced by DreGGs, a graduate of the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.
Their self-titled debut album contained 13 tracks, one of which was a cover of the 1980s pop hit, Send Me An Angel (originally by Real Life).
With the departure of MuBo, a new space was left open and it wasn't until the Unsaved release party at The Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, Florida that sKuz was introduced as his replacement.
Like their first DVD, it was a robust compilation of live performances, pre and post show antics along with video logs from their extensive tours and studio sessions.
On January 10, 2009, the group made an announcement regarding the departure of drummer Cygnus and the addition of his replacement, Kriz D.K., via a video posted on the band's official Myspace page and YouTube.
In December 2008 it was announced by both Mubo and Deadstar Assembly through Myspace that the former keyboardist had contributed parts to a remake of their hit song "Breathe For Me".
In September 2009 Mubo joined the band for a special performance at the State Theater in St. Petersburg, FL for Crossbreed's CD Release Party.
The band returned to the United States to perform the Triton Festival at Oceana Hall in Brooklyn, NY.
