Self-titled Release, 2008-2010
The band released their third album in September 2008. The self-titled record was an instant success both critically and commercially, led by the official theme song for Season 71 of the UAAP – “Puso (trans: Heart)”. The song would continue to be the league's anthem for the next 4 years. Other singles include the massive hit “Di Na Mababawi (trans: You Can't Take it Back)”, “Wala Kang Katulad (trans: You Are like No Other)”, “Makapiling Ka (trans: To Be With You) ”, and “Ayt!”, a collaboration with Gary Valenciano. The band also rerecorded Gino Padilla’s classic “Closer You and I” for Closeup Toothpaste.
During recording, Chris Cantada left the band citing that the heavy touring was contributing to his health problems. A handful of drummers joined the band on tours, most notably Pupil's Wendell Garcia. By 2009, Ted "TMAC" Cruz signed on as the band's official drummer.
