After a brief audition process the band chose to replace Michael with not one but two vocalists. American born clean vocalist, Harry Radford and Glaswegian screamer, Kevin Miles. The new line up embarked on a nine date UK tour in April 2009 supporting Madina Lake and The Audition, they continued to tour for most of the year in the UK and Europe before commencing recording their debut album Put Your Hands Where I Can See Them, with Romesh Dodangoda at Long Wave Studios in November 2009.
