Marsh and Laurenson signed a record deal with the independent label The Militia Group in 2002. Copeland released its first album, Beneath Medicine Tree, a year later. The band would go on to release In Motion in 2005, Eat Sleep Repeat in 2006, Dressed Up and In Line in 2007, and You Are My Sunshine in 2008.

After the release of You Are My Sunshine, Marsh announced that the group would be taking an indefinite hiatus. Marsh stated on Copeland's MySpace page:

We have come to an extremely difficult decision. It has come time for us to move on from Copeland and follow other paths in our lives. We are absolutely grateful to have been able to make music for as long as we have. In the last 9 years, we've been able to see parts of the world that we never dreamt we would see. We have shared the stage and built friendships with immensely talented artists. We've been afforded the opportunity to make 4 records that we're extremely proud of. Most of all, we feel honored that people have cared so much for our band and for our art.{{Cite web |title=Copeland Breakup - Copeland News @ antiMusic.com |url=https://www.antimusic.com/news/09/oct/30Copeland_Breakup.shtml |access-date=2022-09-09 |website=www.antimusic.com}}
