member Nik Kozub. The EP was a 5 song disc pressed by the band members and sold at shows. The band began playing shows across Western Canada and eventually committed their next release to local Edmonton independent record label 'Farway Records'.
The band soon after returned to the studio to record the One More for the Road EP with friend Real Cardinal. For the release of the EP in 2004, the band played a free show at the Edmonton Events Center which ended up filling the venue to capacity at 1600 people, leaving hundreds more outside.

" by SEE Magazine
. Soon after the release, Farway Records closed their doors and the band re-released the EP independently.
One More for the Road went on to sell nearly 4,000 units across Canada & the US (mostly through offstage sales at shows). As well, the band began to gain a presence online through the popularity of the song Home In The Heartland. The band's long-standing commitment to touring endlessly across Canada was well served during the release, with highlights including playing all of the Canadian dates on the Warped Tour
and opening multiple Canadian dates of the Taste of Chaos
tour.
. However, his schedule seemed to prevent them from working together. In March 2006, the band played a showcase at Canadian Music Week
, and on the drive home from Toronto to Edmonton they received word that a project Garth was working on had canceled, and that he could do their record if they began production immediately. Despite all members still working jobs or attending post-secondary school back home, they decided to keep driving straight to The Farm studios in Gibsons, BC to begin recording. Still with no record label, the band took out personal loans (from banks, friends, & family) to fund the project.
Shortly after the record was done, Ten Second Epic signed a licensing agreement for Canada with Blackbox Recordings. The result of Richardson’s collaboration with the band was Ten Second Epic’s first full-length album, Count Yourself In
, released on October 10, 2006.
The music video for the first single "Suck It Up, Princess" was shot by friend Colin Minihan. The video was shot on an abandoned transport boat near Mission, BC with an $800 budget. During the 12 hour shoot, the band traveled to Langley, BC in between daytime & night scenes to play the final show of a tour they were on. The video was given 'Light Rotation' on MuchMusic
, which was later upgraded to 'Medium Rotation' based on the demand from viewer requests. The video is considered the starting point for a strong history of MuchMusic
supporting the band and their music videos.
The subsequent singles furthered the success of the album. "Count Yourself In" was the first single to gain substantial radio airplay for the band, breaking into the Top 50 on Active Rock on Canadian Radio. The song was nominated for Rock Song of the Year by Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) for the 11th Annual Canadian Radio Music Awards, and was included on the MuchMusic compilation disc PunchMuch. The video received a nomination for Best Independent Video at the 2007 MuchMusic Video Awards
. The video for "Old Habits Die Hard" was the first video by the band to break into the MuchMusic Top 30 Countdown
and the song was included on the Big Shiny Tunes
12 compilation, which was certified Gold in Canada (50,000 units) on July 30, 2008. The album also garnered a nomination for Best Rock Group at the 2008 Canadian Independent Music Awards
During the album cycle the band had several Canadian tours including tours with The Spill Canvas
, Hedley
, Moneen
, Living With Lions, Cartel
(US Tour), and playing Virgin Festival

The 3rd single, which features fellow Canadian and long-time friend LIGHTS was nominated for Best Independent Video at the 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards
and was featured on the Big Shiny Tunes
14 compilation. Ten Second Epic also received a nomination for Best New Group at the 2010 Juno Awards
