The other members went on to form the band Surrogate and work with other bands such as Emery .  There was a lot of controversy surrounding Number One Gun's last album, related to the late fulfillment of crowd-funding.

"Weekend" by Taeyeon, Saturday, March 26, 2022 + Weekend Vibes AppleMusic Mix

On Valentine's Day, Taeyeon released her third full-length album, INVU .  This album included her single released last summer " Weekend ," a song about feeling great and enjoying life amidst the everyday hectic routine. Sleeping in late, indulging in coffee and/or cheese cake, and generally "doing whatever I want," "Weekend" is a bubbly K-pop single that welcomes the best two days of the week. And out of a lazy afternoon in bed with my boyfriend singing this song, I chose to be extra lazy and post this track as an excuse to convert my Spotify Friday Vibes  playlist into an AppleMusic Weekend Vibes playlist. Hope you enjoy it! Original tracklist (before future updates): 1. "Weekend" by Taeyeon (the song of the day) 2. " Forest " by Number One Gun 3.  " Take it All Back 2.0 " by Judah & the Lion 4. " Typical " by MUTEMATH 5. " Rings & Roses " by Dabin ft. Conor Byrne 6. " Hymn for the Wee

The band split apart after recording their Tooth & Nail debut with lead singer Jeff Schneeweis forming the band The North Pole Project, and bandmates Christopher Keene and Jordan Mallory forming the band Surrogate . In 2007, Schneeweis changed Number One Gun's name to The North Pole Project as all the original bandmates had left the band; however, what would have been The North Pole Project's debut record was released as The North Pole Project by Number One Gun.  I’VE DONE IT ALL, BUT NOT THIS. Schneeweis built a touring band to promote  The North Pole Project, but when it came time to record the follow up, he decided to go at the recording alone. Number One Gun released To the Secrets and Knowledge in January of 2010, originally including a tenth closing track, a cover of Journey '
