They recorded Bleed American without a label, using their own funds. They were dropped by Capitol after Clarity did not meet the label's commercial expectations. Geffen snapped them up after the initial success of Bleed American and their old label Capitol even made them another offer!

Bleed American was the first album I heard from them. The album was popular with some of my friends in school at the time and it brings back some good memories. I thought that Futures was fairly good, just not as good as Bleed American and Clarity. It's a lot different from Bleed American and had a darker and more mature sound. It's another album that brings back some good memories from my final year in secondary school and I think that Work was one of their best singles.
