During 2001 and 2002 the band performed at New Jersey Metal Meltdown and Milwaukee Metalfest with bands like DRI, Mastodon, BLS, Diamond Head and Saxon. They also found themselves on the local and regional level supporting up and comers, Dope, Dead To Fall, Incantation and Lamb of God.

2003 saw live performances supporting Shadow's Fall, Himsa, Death By Stereo, Dokken, Anthrax, Overkill, and a 7-city stint with San Fransisco metal legends Death Angel.

The band already had new material in the works for the album that would follow up 2001's, "Smoking Still". In between writing for the new disk they stayed active doing gigs with bands such as Dope, Twisted Method, Quiet Riot, W.A.S.P., Joey Belladonna, Beyond The Embrace, Metal Church, 3 Inches of Blood, Bile, and Mushroomhead. The band hit the studio in November of 2004 and the result was "1000 Mile Stare". A 10 song blistering set of no holds bar rock/metal. Stories of the rock and roll soul, drugs, denial, control, struggle, and ultimately freedom. Reviews from Metal Edge Magazine compared the sound to early Metallica, Sepultura, Megadeth, and Motorhead. "...The band relies on no one style to create their brand of rock 'n' roll. Simple, heavy and explosive." (Jan/feb 2008)

After the release of the disk in April 2005, the band went back to what they know best-playing live. They went out as support for L.A. Guns on their East Coast dates. More shows with Overkill, Wednesday 13, Dead Star Assembly and Marc Rizzo's Committee of Thirteen would follow to round out 2005. Toured independently most of 2006-2007 while writing, and recording music for a new record. Did some shows along the way with Chris Caffery(Trans Siberian Orchestra,Savatage) and Murphy's Law.
