In 2005 the group was nominated for a Juno Award for New Group of the Year but lost to Alexisonfire.[6] The Waking Eyes spent the better part of 2006 holed-up in their Winnipeg jam space, writing and demoing songs for an album. Pre-production took place in Winnipeg during February 2007. The band recorded the follow-up to Video Sound in a Winnipeg studio in May 2007 with producer/engineer John Paul Peters (formerly of The Undecided). The Waking Eyes' record, Holding on to Whatever It Is, was released digitally via iTunes in July, 2008. The band released the record on vinyl in September, and CD copies became available in November.[7] The album won a Western Canada Music Award for best independent album.[8] HiatusIn July 2010, The Waking Eyes went on hiatus, allowing the members of the band to concentrate on other musical projects.
