The band toured the UK in late February/early March culminating in a live session with Clint Boon on revered radio station XFM Manchester. During this tour the band were contacted by organisers from Canada's North By North East (NXNE) music festival and asked to headline the British Showcase at that years festival. Armies of You received much attention from both the Canadian national press and North American independant radio stations who championed the bands music and, due to the nature of them being at the festival as the only unsigned/unmanaged band from the UK, their showcase ended up being reported as one of the highlights of the festival. On the night of their performance at NXNE the band were interviewed by indie film maker Brian Banks and will appear in the rockumentary "My Tour" due to be released in late 2008. After returning from Canada frontman J signalled his intention to take 7 months off from music to travel the world in search of new ideas and inspiration. The band was put in hiatus and whilst J was away Jon and Tom formed How To Dress For Cricket with Dan Lewis (Counterfeits, Anomolies). J returned in mid 2008 and started work on new Armies of You material with Buzz and other local musicians. In August 2008 the band announced a new lineup featuring Bristol-based guitarist Dan Armson (RV Danger) and Plymouth-based drummer David Strong (Meanie, Autophobe). August saw the release of new Armies of You material and details about the bands participation in a reality TV pilot show called "The Next Big Thing" which is due to be filmed between the 31st August and 3rd September.
