the show were acting "blatantly homophobic": They continued to tour, playing with the likes of Dashboard Confessional, Brand New and MxPx. The group entered the studio in 2004 with the producer Howard Benson to record the follow-up to Between the Never and the Now. For the album, Childres switched to keyboards with Burke Thomas added to the group to record drums. The drummer from Street Drum Corps, Bobby Alt, contributed theremin to the album while Phil Perrone contributed backing vocals. The album, titled Sisters of the Red Death, was released in 2005 and charted at No. 21 on the Top Heatseeker's Chart. Late in 2004, Chapman and Childres left the group and the guitarist Leif Andersen of Common Heroes and Pris joined the band on lead guitar and keyboards. In late 2005 Vermillion left the band and bass guitarist Jeff Rouse, of Alien Crime Syndicate and Loaded was added to the group.

Post-breakup (2006–2010) Following the breakup, Davidson, Andersen and Rouse formed Sirens Sister in 2006 along with the drummer Ben Libey. They signed to The Control Group and released their first album, Echoes from the Ocean Floor, in September 2006, produced by Martin Feveyear.
