In 1998 the band released Silent Radar which was their fourth studio album and it spawned numerous hits for the band. The album provided the band with their third and final Juno nomination as they were nominated for Best Rock Album at the 1999 Juno Awards. As was the case with their previous two Juno nominations, the band lost the award to The Tragically Hip. In November 2003 the band decided to go their separate ways. Before they did, they performed one last short tour across Canada as a "Thank You" to their fans. The tour was called "The Watchman's Last Road Trip" and included 9 concerts in 6 Canadian cities and 1 American city. Another Canadian band that while well known in it's native land, did not garner much exposure south of the border.
