After over a year long break, the band got back together in 2005 and changed their name to Dayglow. In less than a year, they played over 40 shows in the tri-state area at venues such as CBGB, Knitting Factory, Rothko, Sin'e, Piano's, and Arlene's Grocery. Dayglow has opened for acts like Life of Agony's Keith Caputo (Epic Records), Weezer's Mikey Welsh (Geffen Records), and Bettie Serveert (Matador Records).

In the spring of 2005, DJ Jonathan Clarke, from Q104.3 Classic Rock in New York, featured the song "Congratulations" on his show "Out of the Box.” Other songs from their self titled EP have been played on a number of internet and college radio stations.

In the summer of 2006, Dayglow recorded a second EP with Nick Rowe, and acquired drummer Viveca Butler. They signed on with CEGTalent (Tommy Lee, Ashley Angel Parker) in 2006.
