The demo ended up being the basis for Green and Beautiful EP, released on September 21 of 2010. The EP also features several live tracks and a remix of "Hell Isn't My Home" by DJ Nota. The band took a trip to perform at The Scala in London, UK, in the World Finals of the GBOB, competing against 18 other countries on April 27, 2010. That summer, October Sky were given the opportunity to perform at the Osheaga Festival in an acoustic tent in association with War Child.

In March 2011, October Sky performed during Canadian Music Week in Toronto, and followed up with a headlining performance at Club Soda, a well-known venue in Montreal, where they recorded Live in Montreal EP.
