Shortly after the recording of Biscuits For Cerberus, bassist Mark Wingfield left the band and Greg Shepheard who had engineered the first two albums joined.

In September 2010, they toured the US for the first time with John Thompson (who also plays with the current line up of The Selecter) on bass and returned to the US in March 2011 to appear at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

As with Gravity Calling, Rat Scabies produced the album and David M Allen mixed it, and backing vocals were supplied by Liz Gilbert.

In December 2013, "The Comet Returns" from Firework Shoes was used by Channel 4 as the backing music on their trailer to advertise the Christmas Eve Special of cult TV comedy show, The IT Crowd.

It also features contributions from Flipron members Tom Granville and Mike Chitty (under the pseudonym Micky Van Dango) From 2019 onward, Fliptron activity continued to be intermittent, although that year saw the band playing a few shows in their local South West area, with their Glastonbury Festival appearance that year being cancelled at the last minute for health and safety reasons after the roof of the Bandstand Stage was dislodged by the wind.

Atkinson sang and played guitars, bass and keyboards with Rat Scabies and Matty Bane from the Neville Staple Band on drums.
