===2004–2010: ''Braxton Hicks'', 10th anniversary, Hiatus===
In June 2004 Daymond told WHAMMO.com.au "I think [Sony Records] knew that we were looking to do something a little different. As a company they'd just gone through some major infrastructure changes in the last few years and I think by talking to us and realising that we were maybe not as happy as we were on the label when we signed – that the label had changed a lot and the roster was completely different".<ref name="Whammo"/> In an interview for ''[[Rolling Stone Australia|Rolling Stone]]'' in May 2011, Thornton told music journalist, [[Andrew McMillen]], that the band's manager at the time "couldn't be fucked fighting the label for anything that we wanted, and he'd made the decision that we were just going to go with whatever the label reckoned. Near the end, it was fucking soul-destroying for me".<ref name="Howl"/><ref name="McMillen">{{cite web | title = The Truth About Jebediah | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120510101349/http://andrewmcmillen.com/2011/05/08/rolling-stone-feature-story-the-truth-about-jebediah-2011/ | url = http://andrewmcmillen.com/2011/05/08/rolling-stone-feature-story-the-truth-about-jebediah-2011/ | work = [[Rolling Stone Australia|Rolling Stone]] | publisher = Andrew McMillen | archive-date = 10 May 2012 | date = May 2011 | access-date = 1 June 2014 | last = McMillen | first = Andrew | author-link = Andrew McMillen }}</ref>

In July 2004 Jebediah issued their fourth studio album, ''[[Braxton Hicks (album)|Braxton Hicks]]'', which was produced by the band itself and appeared on their own record label, [[Redline Records]], distributed by [[Shock Records]].<ref name="Howl"/><ref name="Whammo"/> Redline Records had been set up in July 2000 with their then-manager, Heath Bradby, of Naked Ape Management.<ref name="Whammo"/><ref name="Samulski">{{cite journal | url = http://hotmag.scam.ecu.edu.au/article_view.php?rec_id=0000000195 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20050617143639/http://hotmag.scam.ecu.edu.au/article_view.php?rec_id=0000000195 | url-status = dead | archive-date = 17 June 2005 | title = New Deal for Jebediah | last1 = Samulski | first1 = Justin | journal = Hotmag | publisher = [[Edith Cowan University]] | issue = 27 | date = May 2004 | access-date = 4 August 2011 }}</ref><ref name="ASIC">{{cite web | title = Redline Records Australia Pty Ltd | url = http://www.search.asic.gov.au/cgi-bin/gns030c?juris=9&hdtext=ACN&srchsrc=1&acn=093787823 | work = Australian Securities and Investments Commission National Names Index | publisher = [[Australian Securities & Investments Commission]] | access-date = 1 June 2014 | date = 18 December 2011 | archive-date = 30 March 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120330231457/http://www.search.asic.gov.au/cgi-bin/gns030c?juris=9&hdtext=ACN&srchsrc=1&acn=093787823 | url-status = dead }}</ref> The album is named for the [[Braxton Hicks contractions|intermittent weak contractions]] which some pregnant women experience.<ref name="MusicAusBio">{{cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080726132207/http://www.amo.org.au/release.asp?id=6751 | url = http://www.amo.org.au/release.asp?id=6751 | title = Releases :: ''Braxton Hicks'' | publisher = [[Redline Records]].

We've had to do that ourselves. We're a very close band but it was even more of a bonding experience in the recording studio, where we had to motivate each other to do our best and I think it's paid off".<ref name="Whammo"/>

Lawrence praised the group's decision to leave their previous label,  "[they] seem reborn and the subsequent autonomy and enthusiasm have combined to deliver the bestest Jebs album in memory ... [they] have reached that point where every element is under their control – from production to business – and if ''Braxton Hicks'' is the end product of that control, every signed band should rip up their major label contracts immediately".<ref name="Whammo"/> It debuted at number&nbsp;26 while its lead single, "[[First Time (Jebediah)|First Time]]", made the top&nbsp;50.<ref name=discog/> During August and September that year they toured Australia to promote the album.<ref name="Whammo"/> In June 2005 Jebediah launched their 10-year anniversary tour and released the five-track ''[[Anniversary E.P.]]'' to coincide. Their shows consisted mainly of B-sides and rarities which fans had requested on the band's official internet forums.

They returned for a festival appearance at the Rollercoaster 07 Music Carnival, held at the Western Foreshore in [[Mandurah, Western Australia|Mandurah]] on 29 December, where they appeared alongside [[Hilltop Hoods]], [[The Black Keys]], [[Shihad]], [[Kisschasy]], [[Birds of Tokyo]] and [[Ash Grunwald]]. In September 2008 the group also played gigs in Sydney, Melbourne, and [[Brisbane]]. The shows were sold out despite little advertising and largely relying on word of mouth.<ref>{{cite news|title=Rollercoaster Music Carnival|url=http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,22679019-5005364,00.html|access-date=30 July 2012|newspaper=Perth Now|date=30 October 2007|author=Perth Now|agency=The Sunday Times}}</ref>
