In June 2005, the band released a split 12-inch with Moving Units, also on Post Present Medium.
In November 2005, following a European tour the band split; a friend, Roy, replaced Jeremy on drums finishing the last leg of the tour with them, playing their farewell show on November 20 at the Highbury Buffalo Bar, London, England.
