Cancer (2009-2010)
On 9 October 2009, the band released their first full-length album, Cancer, which was recorded between June–September 2009 at Adelaide's Sound House Studio. The album earned the band Blunt Magazine's Album of the Year award. Following the release of Cancer, the band headlined their first Australian headlining tour in October–November 2009, with many local Australian metalcore and hardcore bands supporting them.
Before the recording of the album, the band parted ways with drummer Matthew Owens and bassist "Borgs". Shane O'Brien was soon added as the band's drummer, with bass duties being handled by guitarist Dan Brown who decided to switch from guitar to bass so it would ease on him to sing clean vocals. Tyrone Burke of Hiroshima Will Burn joined the band as his replacement on guitar and toured the band on the Sick Summer Tour supporting Parkway Drive in January–February 2010, though he was kicked out of the band later in 2010 after stealing money from the band. Kevin Cameron (ex-I Killed the Prom Queen) temporarily replaced Burke on guitar, until Dan Brown decided to return to his guitar duties, bringing Jamie Hope of The Red Shore to fill-in for him on bass.
In March–April 2010, the band played their first tour outside of Australia: a European tour supporting For the Fallen Dreams. After playing with the band for the Keeping it Bogan Tour, Jamie Hope was replaced by Byron Carney of 50 Lions. Though, Byron stay with the band was short and as the band was without the bassist at the time, Dan Brown was forced to return to bass duties and the band played as a 4 piece for a while, before ex-The Red Shore bassist Tim Anderson joined the band.
On July 2010, the band played on the Youngbloods Tour in support of The Amity Affliction, and in August, they have toured in support of House Vs. Hurricane on the Escape to OZ Tour. In October–November 2010, the band once again headlined an Australian tour with local hardcore bands as support acts,
