In 2005, Spymob decided to call it quits. The pop-rock quartet had spent the last few years expanding their global footprint as the opening and backing act for N.E.R.D., the alt-rock project of the Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, after becoming the first rock group to sign to the duo’s Star Trak imprint in 2001. They’d already been through the major label ringer — they were signed to Epic Records to put out their debut album “Sitting Around Keeping Score” before L.A. Reid unexpectedly quashed plans to release it — and, a year after the album finally dropped through Ruthless Records, the group had reached its natural endpoint.
