" Tom Oakes: "To all of you, I want to thank all of you for what you have done for this band. I am personally shaken about this, but not destroyed. The band is very adamant about continuing on and I have nothing but the most faith in the world that they will not only continue, but succeed. If any of you have any questions, I am available to speak further. thank you all again and look forward to a successful 2008!". In April 2008, The Higher completed their first ever UK tour, supporting Elliot Minor for 8 dates alongside openers Furthest Drive Home.

Though there has been no official statement on his status as a permanent member, he is still currently touring and working alongside The Higher. The new album, It's Only Natural, was released on June 23, 2009. The title is taken from The Kinks' song "Come Dancing."
