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.

Never Heard of It Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pictures all thrown away
Its easier this way
Things were good
I never should have been so scared
To be so happy
Never thought I could I would have never
Are you my friend
To me I've lost my friend
I could have said some things that isn't fair
Your the text inside my book
That isn't there anymore
Are you my friend
I listened to
That Cd read those letters one last time
Remember when we'd drive to San Diego
We would laugh id hold you're hand
And you would stay those nights
Did you ever think I would say
Are you my friend
To me I've lost my friend
I could have said some things that ill regret
All the lyrics on the blank CD
You'll get from me
Are you my friend
I called you yesterday
I called you like a month ago to say I'm sorry
The times I talked to you before the time
It never was you
Are you my friend
To me I've lost my friend
I could have said some things that wasn't fair
Your the text inside my book
That isn't there anymore
Are you my friend
To me I've lost my friend
I could have said something that ill regret
All the lyrics on the blank CD
You'll get from me
To you my friend
