the NME Breakthrough compilation, NME magazine as Breakthrough Artist of the week, Gill Mills Best of Myspace Podcast 98, which was featured on the main page of Myspace as well as their demo of Gold being named as one of the 5 NME breakthrough tracks you have to hear. They also recorded a live session for BBC Leeds West Yorkshire Raw Talent Radio show where James, Ollie and Liam performed stripped down version of 3 songs. Over the rest of 2010 the band supported bands such as Fool's Gold and Maps & Atlases. 2011 to 2012 2011 saw the band play another sold-out show at the Silver Hips club on the night before heading into the studio with James Kenosha (Pulled Apart By Horses, Grammatics) to record their debut EP Wax & Gold. The EP dropped on 8 August 2011. In support of its release, the band took to the stage at various festivals over the summer including Live at Leeds, Newcastle's Evolution and Sheffield's Tramlines along with confirmed performances at both Yorkshire's Beacons and London's Leefest. Nearly a year after Wax & Gold was released, the band announced its break-up. On 29 July 2012 the band posted on Facebook, saying: "...it is with heavy hearts that we bring you the news that Loose Talk Costs Lives has unfortunately come to an end. We are extremely grateful to everyone that has ever helped us out, put us on, come to a show, listened to or bought any of our music or merch. We have had some of the best times in this band over the past 3 years, we have been to a lot of amazing places and met a lot of amazing people along the way, which we will never forget. However we feel that at this moment we have gone as far as we can with the band. This being said, we are all still great friends and will continue to make and release music in the future." The band then released a free album of "old unreleased demo's and live acoustic & stripped down versions of some songs" on their Bandcamp.com page shortly after their break-up.
