[4] A key contributor in the songwriting process for Eisley's debut album for Warner Bros. Records, Muse also gave the band a new name that, if only in part, would stick, MossEisley.
After an unsuccessful year with the Connotations in Nashville, Muse returned to Austin to begin writing and recording what would become the band's first album Shine Honesty under the name Quiet Company.
[4] Recording Shine Honesty mostly by himself,[1][5] Muse was in need of band mates to play live shows, providing the pretext for Quiet Company's first permanent addition, Tommy Blank, via a Craigslist ad,[1][6] in 2005.
In 2009, the band recorded and self-released[7] their second album, Everyone You Love Will Be Happy Soon,[8] with local producers Charlie Vela and Louie Lino of Nada Surf fame,[citation needed] and mixed by Tim Palmer, who had worked previously with U2 and Pearl Jam.
[1][4] While filming their music video for the single, "On Modern Men", the band added their fifth member, Cody Ackors on trombone.
[4] Quiet Company's music has been and continues to be featured by various Austin rock-oriented radio stations such as KUTX,[17] KSGR, KROX,[18] KUT, KOOP and KLBJ.
They have played with many notable acts, such as Blue October, Rooney,[12] Stoney, Ghostland Observatory, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Deadbeat Darling, Alpha Rev,[20] The Rocketboys, Dear and the Headlights, Third Eye Blind, Dashboard Confessional,[21] Cheap Trick, Eisley, Evan Dando, Bob Schneider, Old 97's and The Toadies.
