After playing shows in and around North Wales, they went back and recorded another self released ep, We Will All Sink in January 2009.

After honing their sound and touring around the country throughout the year, they returned to Russ Hayes in October 2009 to record their critically acclaimed 3rd ep: Kingdom of Dogs, which was released on the underground label: Tangled Talk Records.
