From 2007 to 2021, the band also included guitarist and vocalist Ben Cook. To date, the band has released six studio albums, alongside numerous EPs, singles, and companion releases. The band won the [[2009 Polaris Music Prize]] for their second studio album, ''[[The Chemistry of Common Life]]''. == History == ===Early career: 2001–2007 === The band formed and played their first shows in early 2001. The initial practicing lineup consisted of lead guitarist Mike Haliechuk of 10,000 Marbles, rhythm guitarist Josh Zucker of Concentration Camp, bassist Sandy Miranda of Mustard Gas and lead vocalist Chris Colohan of Left For Dead/The Swarm fame and [[Cursed (band)|Cursed]]. Just prior to recording their demo tape, vocal duties were taken over from Colohan by Pink Eyes (Damian Abraham, also known as Mr. Damian). Drums were played by Mr. Jo (Jonah Falco, also credited as G. Beat or J. Falco). Following the release of the demo, the band embarked on a long series of [[7-inch]] records. The band released the ''"[[They shall not pass|No Pasaran]]"'' 7-inch in May 2002. The ''Police'' 7-inch was released in March 2003,<ref>[https://noisey.vice.com/en_ca/article/a-completely-biased-ranking-of-the-60-best-canadian-indie-rock-songs-of-the-00s-part-ii "A Completely Biased Ranking of the 60 Best Canadian Indie Rock Songs of the 00s Part II"]. ''Vice'', Cam Lindsay Apr 10 2017</ref> quickly followed the ''Baiting the Public'' 7-inch in May 2003. Two more 7-inches followed in 2004, the single ''Dance of Death'', and the 4-song EP ''Litany''. The vinyl releases to this point were collected on 2004s ''Epics in Minutes'' CD. The band was the subject of a two-minute 16&nbsp;mm film showing its links to the Toronto hardcore scene, a local infoshop and punk radio show. The band's use of imagery and symbolism (notable the use of [[Sigil (magic)|Sigils]]) took a decided turn after the release of Epics in Minutes, as it was followed by two limited 12-inches, the ''Looking for Gold'' 12-inch, and the live ''Let Likes be Cured by Likes'' 12-inch. The ''Looking for Gold'' 12-inch contained no liner notes or credits, no song titles, and a hidden track. It was self-released by the band in 2004 in two limited runs of 300 and 400 copies. The title track was 16 minutes long, used 18 guitar tracks, had a three-minute [[drum solo]] and contained 5 minutes of [[whistling]]. In the summer of 2004, the band released the ''Generation'' 7-inch and 12-inch EPs. After [[Concert tour|tour]]ing for most of 2005 the band took on David Eliade as a quasi-full-time manager/promoter. In early 2006 Eliade began shopping demos of songs from the planned ''[[Hidden World (album)|Hidden World]]'' album to labels, ending with the band signing to [[Jade Tree Records]] for an early fall 2006 release of the album. Jade Tree is distributed by Touch & Go which in turn has a distribution agreement with ADA (Warner Music Group). Jade Tree licensed the vinyl version to [[Deranged Records]], which released it as a double album in November 2006. Several other records, such as ''Year of the Dog'' 12-inch were released, before the band went on the European tour, visiting England, Germany, and Spain, among other places. January 16, 2007, marked the band's live television debut on ''[[MTV Live (Canadian TV series)|MTV Live]]'', where they were introduced as "Effed Up".<ref name="exclaimmag">{{cite web|last=Sutherland|first=Sam|title=What the Fuck?

Once again, the band (and their fans) caused a large amount of damage, destroying the ceiling, spray painting walls and knocking over amps and a motorcycle which was brought into the washroom as a prop. Fans, who were told beforehand to stay out of the washroom and to watch from outside the door, rushed the doors and joined in the destruction the band had already started. The band was supposed to play three songs but were stopped after the first song as MTV was not aware of the destruction the band had planned and were concerned about the safety of the band, audience and crew.
