Reinvigorated with a new lineup, the band recorded their second album with Mike Pelanconi and Stephen Street. Singles 'After Dark' and 'The Morning After' were championed by XFM's John Kennedy, while also becoming BBC Radio 1 Singles of the Week for Zane Lowe. The band toured extensively with British Sea Power, Jet, Drugstore and The Futureheads in support of the new album, People Are Cruel, garnering rave reviews for their raucous shows."
