House of Heroes commented about the album on their Facebook page, "Just south of 5th Ave. on Riverside Dr./33 in Columbus, OH is the Suburban Building. The N fell off the end of the word... This is what inspired the title of our new record. A record about growing up in the suburbs of middle class America, and having big dreams. There are triumphs and failures, and sometimes letters fall off the ends of words... " [1] The song "Burn Me Down" was inspired by the British band Muse, of whom Tim Skipper is a big fan.[3] Suburba debuted at No. 48 on the Billboard 200, which is House of Heroes' highest position to date.[4]
On May 24, 2010 they released a lyric video for the song "God Save the Foolish Kings",[5] and on July 20, a similar one for "Love Is for the Middle Class" was released.[6] On July 27, 2010 they also released a music video for "God Save the Foolish Kings".[7]
