It was released on August 7, 2012 through their own independent label called Palehorse Records, which is a part of Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group. Lead singer, Jesse Hasek, spoke about the album saying "We wanted to create an album that has no boundaries." He continues by saying, "When you feel like you're being told to go through motions and jump through hoops, it takes the heart out of it. It's better to do what comes naturally and then figure out the after-effect."[2]
The album debuted at No. 26 on the Billboard 200, No. 8 on the Top Rock Albums chart and No. 2 on Hard Rock Albums chart, selling 12,000 copies in the first week.[3] The album has sold 45,000 copies in the US as of April 2015.[4]
