Chancellor introduced them to producer Jacknife Lee, who despite having been a guitarist in 1990s
punk rock band Compulsion had no rock production experience at that point, being known at the time for his work with Basement Jaxx and Eminem.
The band completed recording Eyes Open in December 2005, with Jacknife Lee returning for production,
and this album was released on 28 April 2006 in Ireland, and the UK on 1 May 2006, with the first UK single"You're All I Have" having been released on 24 April 2006.
