Shortly thereafter, the band released the album ''Nothing to Prove'' in July 2003, but broke up during the subsequent tour. During their heyday, the Teen Idols headlined many tours in the U.S. and played support with other notable bands such as [[NOFX]], [[Anti-Flag]], [[Less Than Jake]], and [[The Queers]].<ref name="ramen"/>

After the breakup of the Teen Idols, Tabor, Yonker, and Witt joined forces with Geis and Gui from [[Rehasher]] and have toured and recorded as the band Bullets to Broadway. The band released one album, ''Drink Positive'', and supported Lagwagon and Lawrence Arms on US legs as well as Less Than Jake on their 2006 European tour. Yanker went on to play with The Queers, Ben Weasel, The Methadones and would own Drastic Sounds Recording Studio in Nashville. Hill did duties with many bands including The Queers, [[Screeching Weasel]], and [[Even in Blackouts]].

In December 2008, the Teen Idols announced that they had decided to come out of retirement and would soon be making new records and playing shows again.<ref>{{cite web|title=Teen Idols return from retirement|url=http://www.punknews.org/article/31733/teen-idols-return-from-retirement|work=Punknews.org|date=December 28, 2008}}</ref> In early 2009, the Teen Idols announced a tentative agreement to sign with [[Fat Wreck Chords]]<ref>[http://www.punknews.org/article/32802 "Teen Idols sign to Fat Wreck"].
