Following in the footsteps of Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday and Halifax, The Myriad have been 2008's MTV2/Dew Circuit Breakout Artist. The Myriad was handpicked by MTV from over 4000 bands to be one of 12 national finalists in the search for the 'next big thing'.  MTV then turned the competition over to fan voting to ultimately determine the winner. The finale aired live on MTV2 December 15th, 2007 and featured performances by the top 3 finalists. Several million votes later, The Myriad was crowned 2007's MTV2 breakout champion. The band's winning performance of 'A Clean Shot' was turned into an MTV video and 'Unleashed' onto MTV2 beginning January 14th, 2008.
