Earning a reputation as the hardest working and most successful independent band on the tour, offers started to come from every direction. They were offered full endorsements from Washburn guitars and a complete custom kit from Truth Drums, but, more importantly, they were offered more tours including their first tour overseas. As support for Bowling for Soup in the UK, NHOI received a response that they could only dream of. By their third show the word was already out and there were magazines and press that followed the band to see what all the hype was about. NHOI sold a little over 3,000 CD's in just 11 shows and were labeled as the next big thing to hit the UK. They were then offered a main support slot on a 23 date tour with Spunge in February of '04 and followed up with two headlining UK tours in October '04 and Feb '05.
When they got back home, they took roughly eleven days to record, edit, master, etc. their then upcoming new release, "11 Days," that dropped on March 9, 2004. It is now available in countries including the UK, Germany, and Japan.
After finishing a headlining world tour in the spring of '05, playing in Japan, England, Scotland, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, NHOI returned home to California to work on their new album.
Their self-titled CD was released in early 2007.
Also in 2007, the band went on an unannounced and sudden hiatus near the middle of the year. Though the band has not officially broken up, they have not been together since then.

I'll Change for Now
Never Heard of It Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you feel so inclined, then lets fight.
You can go away, work something out,
If it's all the same, I'll change for now.
Nothing left to say, less left to shout,
You can stay the same and I'll change for now.
If you decide to take that train, well that's okay.
You can go away, work something out,
If it's all the same, I'll change for now.
Nothing left to say, less left to shout,
You can stay the same and I'll change for now.
If what you see is true,
Then why would you throw it all away.
All these games you play,
Are the reasons all these changes work for you.
If what you say is true,
Then all the things I could've been,
But I never did and now get this so much better.
You can go away, work something out,
If it's all the same, I'll change for now.
Nothing left to say, less left to shout,
You can stay the same and I'll change for now.
You can go away, work something out,
If it's all the same, I'll change for now.
Nothing left to say, less left to shout,
You can stay the same and I'll change for now.
I will be there,
If it's all the same I'll change for now.
If you won't let go,
You can stay the same and I'll change for now
The song "I'll Change for Now" by Never Heard of It is a plea for compromise and reconciliation in a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. The lyrics seem to come from the perspective of someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to salvage the relationship, even if it means changing themselves in some way. The opening lines set the stage for the rest of the song: "Getting what you want is fine, that's alright / And if you feel so inclined, then let's fight." Here, the singer acknowledges that conflict is inevitable in any relationship, but indicates that they are still willing to fight for it.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You can go away, work something out / If it's all the same, I'll change for now / Nothing left to say, less left to shout / You can stay the same and I'll change for now." These lines suggest that the singer is willing to change temporarily in order to save the relationship, but the underlying issue still needs to be addressed in order for the change to be permanent. The second verse introduces the idea of consequences: "Smoke will quickly turn ablaze, if you stay / If you decide to take that train, well that's okay." Here, the singer is warning their partner that if they continue down the same path, things could get worse.
Overall, "I'll Change for Now" is a song about the complexities of relationships and the willingness to compromise in order to keep them intact. The lyrics suggest that even when things seem hopeless, there is still room for change and growth if both parties are willing to put in the effort.
