The success of their album scored them national support and the slot on the Hultsfred Festival, playing in the same year as bands such as Iggy Pop and Rocket from the Crypt.

After devouring two years' worth of gigs, and with a different way of looking at the Swedish punk rock scene, and following from the success of Skyline Supernova, in 2003 the trio went on to solidify its sound and early 2004 saw them head into the studio and record the 4-track EP self-titled The Knockouts.

Recorded October 2007 and released Feb 1, 2008 this new album saw the band fly into a massive Europe and USA tour including planned dates in Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic, Finland, and the West Coast of the United States.

It was produced by Stefan Boman, of Park Studio (owned by World-famous Swedish Band Kent) and Johan Frandsen of The Knockouts.

This full-length album is receiving radio plays and reviews; ... the catchiness of the beats and melodies grab you, the lyrics hold on tight and refuse to let you go ...[5] The official single, ...'Days Long Gone' hurtles out of the speakers with a confidence and energy that tells me everything I need to know about this record and that is it's going to compete and there's a strength in the outstanding playing and songwriting that places this Scandinavian three piece right at the top of the pack...[6] The albums also featured Kevin McKendree on piano on the song “Stars of Us”.

Slim Jim Phantom from the world famous Stray Cats and Jonny Bowler from the Guana Batz flew from Los Angeles to join The Knockouts on stage in a once only special event to a soldout show, celebrating Johan Frandsen's 30th birthday.
