He portrayed the villain in 6 songs on "Columbus." In the summer of 2008, Soboslai and company started a record label called Modern Short Stories. Since their inception, they have released records for Punchline, The Composure, Spontaneo, Justin Oliver, and also a book by Chris Fafalios and Tony Hartman, called Whistle Pig. In 2011 Soboslai began doing solo performances as "Blue of Colors." In his first performance he opened for Parachute and Plain White T's at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania student union. Soboslai provides additional vocals on "New Misery" by Israeli punk rock group Useless ID's latest album, Symptoms, released in 2012. In the weeks leading up to the release of Punchline's new EP So Nice To Meet You, word broke that Soboslai would be on the television show "Mobbed" (aired 1/04/12) to declare his romantic feelings for a long-distance friend in the form of a musical flash mob. Thanks to this publicity coupled with a social media push by the bassist of Punchline (who stated that he would put down the bass if the EP did not reach No. 1 on iTunes), the record achieved the rank of No. 1 on the iTunes Rock charts and No. 7 on the main charts at its peak, as well as No. 4 on Billboard's Heatseekers charts.
