 Recorded during a hectic 2005, "Eyes Open is the work of a band who have scaled the heights supporting U2 through Europe, appearing at Live 8 in both Hyde Park and Scotland but somehow stuck to their core values: beautiful powerful songs underscored by some of the most poignant and telling lyrics in rock."Its been an amazing couple of years.

Its all lost unless this next step is truly exceptional."
