[1] Jensen believed greatly in the band, and gambled big on their success, even mortgaging his house to help pay for the recording of their debut full-length.
This record helped the group gain significant exposure, allowing them to play side stage on the 2002 Vans Warped Tour with fellow Arizona natives Jimmy Eat World, among others.
Jared Woosley joined Larry Elyea (who had produced and recorded Fivespeed's two albums) in Giantkiller,[5][6] formed Paper Airplane with Matt Turner,[5] and had a solo project called Jet Black Holiday.
[7] Matt Turner and Shane Addington went back to their project The Desperate Hours,[5] and Brad Cole and Chad Martin joined David Jensen (formerly of Before Braille) to play in Art for Starters.
