 After a series of delays , Black Lab asked to be released from Epic ; legal problems with the record label ensued , but the band won the rights to the master recordings of the material they had been working on . While searching for a new label , the band self @-@ released a six @-@ song EP in 2003 , first online and then on CD , which featured " Learn to Crawl " and the single " See the Sun " . However , the planned second full @-@ length , called See the Sun , wouldn 't see light until 2005 , after the band decided on an independent release . See the Sun did not receive any mainstream press coverage , but online reviews noted the band 's turn toward increasing use of keyboards and synthesizers to introduce and underlay tracks , describing it as " startling , but in a good way " . The band benefited heavily from promotion from online rock site Alternative Addiction , who included the track " Lonely Boy " on one of its compilations , regularly reports on the band 's music , and places them in heavy rotation on its internet radio station .
