The record spawned five hit singles: ‘Where Have You Been Tonight?’, ‘Getting Better', ‘Going For Gold’, ‘Bully Boy’ and ‘On Standby’.

Since getting back together in 2007, Shed Seven have continued to sell out shows across the UK including their first ever headline arena date at Leeds First Direct Arena in 2019 where they performed to a 10,000 strong sold-out crowd. Their exclusive summer Yorkshire show at Leeds Millennium Square further highlights that the York five-piece just get bigger and bigger.
