was received poorly (both critically and commercially), and proved to be an unfortunate turning point in the band's career. 1997–1998 – Commercial decline ("Tacky Love Song" and Keep Your Mouth Shut) The poor performance of Daddy Always Wanted Me to Grow a Pair of Wings led to Credit to the Nation parting company with One Little Indian Records. In 1997, Hanson went on to sign to the German independent Laughing Horse record label (which was affiliated to Chrysalis Records). Credit to the Nation subsequently recorded a third album in Hamburg from which a new single, "Tacky Love Song", was released in 1998. The single attempted to replicate the impact of "Call It What You Want" by once again sampling an iconic current alternative rock act – in this case, Radiohead and their single "High and Dry".

He would resurface in 2007 as the rapping frontman of a hip-hop/heavy metal band called Backup Radio with guitarist/vocalist Karl Morey, bass player David McMillan, drummer Tom Flinders and DJ Philly Blunt. The band's debut album, 'Blood in the Water', was scheduled for release on Morey's own Crossflow Recordings label in 2008 but was never released. Although Backup Radio no longer continued to write, Hanson maintained his relationship with Crossflow Recordings. 2010–present – reformation In April 2010, Credit to the Nation announced their reformation. The band's first live appearance for eight years was on 15 May 2010 at The Slade Rooms in Wolverhampton, alongside Dreadzone. The band went on to play at the Endorse It in Dorset festival, Shambhala and various festivals around the UK. The band were completing their as-yet-untitled comeback album, scheduled for release on Crossflow Recordings. Described as "a reinvention of the signature sound" by the band in the press release for the
