In 2000, Giving Birth to a Stone was reissued to unexpected relative success on the DC Based Beatville Records imprint Vile Beat. Realising that their music was in fact appreciated, Simon Oakes and Rob Havis decided to form a band again, but since Justin and Ben were no longer there, they chose to pick a new name instead of using Peach. The name they chose was Suns of the Tundra, and they still play several old Peach songs in their live set.
