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 ↴
Got you in such desperation
Now I know what kept you so far away.
I'll take you out on vacation,
From all the problems you brought down.
I know what made you change that day
If there's anything I know right now,
All we really need to do right now
Is stop and work this out.
Sign me up on your application
File on your separation
Pack your bags and
Get ready for a one-way trip.
If there's anything I know right now,
Is that nothings ever over.
All we really need to do right now
Is stop and work this out.
Stop and work this out.
Ever fought so long
If you're right then it makes me wrong
All I know
Your chance is gone
If it hurts why do you hang on
Ever fought so long (If there's anything I know right now)
If you're right then it makes me wrong (Is that nothings ever over)
All I know (All we need right now)
Your chance is gone (Stop and work this out)
If it hurts why do you hang on
If there's anything I know right now
Is that nothings ever over
All we really need to do right now
Is stop and work this out
If there's anything I know right now
Is that nothings ever over
All we really need to do right now
Is stop and work this out
I can't believe these situations
Got you in desperation
I can't believe these situations
Probably never knew
I can't believe all these situations...
The lyrics to "Situations" by Never Heard of It are about being there for a friend who is going through a tough time. The first verse expresses disbelief at the situation that the friend is going through and acknowledges that it has caused distance between them. The singer offers to take the friend on vacation to help them escape their problems. The chorus reassures the friend that nothing is ever truly over and that they can work through the issues together. The second verse talks about the friend's unwillingness to let go of their pain even though it is hurting them.
The bridge repeats the idea that the friend has been fighting for a long time and that the singer is willing to admit when they are wrong in order to help the friend. The final chorus repeats the message that they can work through anything together.
Overall, the song is about the importance of being there for someone who is struggling and the belief that things can get better if you work to solve the underlying issues. The upbeat pop-punk style of the song contrasts with the emotional lyrics, creating a sense of optimism despite the difficult subject matter.

These guys are cool. Met them almost 10 years ago at the warp tour in cleveland. They were the only unsigned band thatgot invited to tour. They are hard working do it yourselfers. I really like this song and I wish them success.
