Located in Auckland, New Zealand,[3] Atlas released their second single "Crawl" in March, 2007, and on 5 March, "Crawl" debuted at #9[4] before moving up to claim the top spot of the Official New Zealand Music Chart the next week,[5] where it stayed for a total of seven weeks.[6] Their next single was "Magic 8".
