Four music videos were released for the songs ‘Soneya’, ‘Mehfuz’, ‘Bewafaa’, and ‘Rab Jaane’.Mehfuz was the first album that the band recorded in their newly made studio “The Clinic”. The band’s current drummer, Ashwani Verma joined the band during this time.
In 2008, the band completed 10 years of their recording career and released ‘Re Dhoom’a commemorative compilation album consisting of 12 of Euphoria’s biggest hits with a music video of the song ‘Bhoola Sab’.
Following personal differences and misunderstandings, Palash asked the then guitarist and keyboardist Hitesh Madan and Benjamine Pinto to leave the band.
During a brief hiatus that the band took, from playing live, Euphoria created music for the Malayalam Film “Best of Luck” released in late 2010. Indian Guitar Legend Kalyan Baruah played guitars on the songs. Kalyan also appeared live with Euphoria on 2 occasions, and later also guested on their 2011 MTV Unplugged appearance.
