The band was signed to Fueled by Ramen, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records. Williams was signed to Atlantic separately, as she was scouted when she was a teenager. They were the only label to let her stay in the band instead of going solo, but Atlantic said the rest of the band had to sign to Fueled by Ramen. The group's debut album, All We Know Is Falling (2005), reached number 30 on Billboards Heatseekers Chart in 2006 and number four on the UK Rock Chart in 2009.
