After a year of writing and gigging, the band were signed up by City Rockers and began work on their debut single "Nightmare", which was released as a limited edition 7-inch red vinyl in August 2007.
[1] The band recorded a suitably macabre promotional video for the song, which received play on MTV2, NME TV, and E4 music among others, and was again popular on YouTube.
It received a two star review from the Daily Mirror, who described it as "the sound of bats in Franz Ferdinand's belfry, or a punch-up between Gotheared troops and the spiky punk massive".
[5] The NME described it as "An exercise in mounting paranoia and unrest, it’s all squelching synths and squiggly guitar lines, which, by the 15th play, is still ringing around your head.
[7] The Guardian stated that the band "have broken down what makes the nu-rave generation hit the download button, and come up with a combination of the Rapture's electropop and the posthardcore of At the Drive-In".
