Their second album, No Wow , was released by RCA Records on March 8, 2005. Featuring an artier, less ” guitar rock ” sound, the record embraced post punk influences and sounded even more stripped down than Keep on Your Mean Side . Originally written to be performed on a Moog , the band was forced to change directions and record it primarily using a guitar after Hince’s Moog broke and couldn’t be repaired before entering the studio. A 40-minute DVD documentary was included with a limited number of copies and features interview, performance and on the road footage shot on tour. The first single, “The Good Ones”, from No Wow , was released on February 7, 2005, and reached number 23 in the UK Singles Chart , which is their highest-charting single in that chart to date.
