  • Tell about their musical style and influences, lyrics.
  • Remove the tables on the discography section, and convert the info about charts on text, in the section Nothing Means Everything (2007–present)
  • You should add critical reviews to the band's albums, and do a copy-edit on the entire last section.
  • Here they played, refers to most important places, and/or countries (on tour maybe).
  • "Following the release of singles "New Ideas", "Clean Up Your Eyes" and "Stitches", the band released their debut album, Nothing Means Everything, in 2007."
  • I found this image, you should upload and put it on the article.
  • "Again, despite having little or no material available at the time…"
  • Changed to "Again, despite having released little or no material at the time". This should fix the confusion. --SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 07:17, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two months later, In November 2006, the band released their first album through Lavolta label, an EP entitled Waiting for Go.

A video was also created for the lead track. [source? video details, please]
