Anthony Green now fronts Circa Survive, an indie/alternative band, that released it's debut full length, "Juturna" in the Spring of 2005.
Bassist Zach Kennedy has also parted from the band, leaving over personal issues, and to focus on his art career. He has been replaced with Chris Sorenson. He now plays bass in Ashlee Simpson's band.
