It achieved substantial critical acclaim and radio play, resulting in its being picked up by NYC indie label ModMusic Records for national distribution and use in several TV & film projects.

The Old Ceremony released their first recording – a self-titled, 12 track album, featuring fan favorites including "American Romeo", "Ole" and "Blood and Oil" – in 2005.
