[6] During the pandemic of 2020 the original line-up regrouped for the first time since 2003 and recorded and released Punchdrunk[7] featuring George Harrison[8] from their homes in Ireland, The United States and The Netherlands.

Major-label big-budget lesson learned, the band eventually returned to their roots, finding Ohio-born, Nashville-based producer Jay Joyce, and created the independently released album, How Far Have You Come, on a 16 track machine in his suburban Nashville basement.

In the summer of 2001, the band returned to Nashville with Jay Joyce, recorded some new material (including "Sparkle"), took the tapes to Miami beach for Tom Lord Alge to mix, and finally released Rise, their only major-label album, which features slide guitar by George Harrison on the track "Punchdrunk".

Following the departure of songwriter and original member Owen Fegan in August 2003, the band returned to Jay Joyce’s Nashville compound to record Goodbye To All That, a critically acclaimed album[14] which was released on the Atlanta-based Brash Label.

[17] Declan formed a side project with drummer Gordon Ashe called Leftbank[18] and released two albums Why Can't Man Be More Like Animals[19] and The Sky On My Birthday.
