on September 17, 2007. Number One Gun supported this album by touring from January 15–30, 2008 with Justin Richards from Brighten
on guitar and drummer Jonathan Russo (Who is the owner, engineer and songwriter for Sky Bison Studios).
The band's latest release, To The Secrets And Knowledge, is a continuation of the one-man project.
