Appleton released his album Uphill to Purgatory in the United States in 2005 which was then re-released in the United Kingdom in 2006 as Someone Else's Problem and included three songs from the 500 Moments EP. Based on the recognition he was receiving in England, Appleton decided to move to London in 2006 where he became a regularly featured performer at popular venues such as Ronnie Scott's, The Borderline, and The Regal Room. In the meantime, the single "Walk Into The Room" and its accompanying video became a favorite on English radio and MTV Two. In 2015, Appleton released an acoustic blues album entitled "Dirty Memory" with harmonicist Jason Ricci. (en)
