After four EPs the band produced their first full-length album Nowhere Left To Run in 2009. Their song The Countys Going To Hampden, which was written for Ross County F.C., was played during the Scottish Cup final 2010 in Hampden Park - the single also achieved a no.23 position in the UK Indie Breakers Chart.
After winning a contest among unsigned bands, The Side was given the chance to play as opener for Bon Jovi in The O2 Arena London 2010 to an audience of 23,000 people - the largest indoor capacity in Europe. A concert video is available on DVD. Since then the band has played on numerous festivals in Europe, for example as main support for Texas in Luxembourg in July 2011 called Rock um Knuedler; Luxembourg's largest music festival with a capacity audience of 15,000. The Side were the 2nd last band to perform at the festival (with only Texas to follow) and were given significant acclaim for their performance on the main stage.
The Side have also performed at festivals in Moscow - Russia, the Netherlands and Cannes - France, not to mention a main stage appearance at their local festivals Belladrum and Rockness.
