Release

It was released in digipak style on "a minimum of 80% post-consumer waste recycled paper".[4] "I like to keep everything I do as close to carbon footprint zero as possible," Mascherino said. "The guys at Equal Vision had to search far and wide to make my packaging goal a reality. But it’s well worth it. It’s really important to me and if everyone else did it, it would make a big difference."[5] The video for "If I Surrender" won the Oven Fresh competition on the Fuse music TV station.[6] In early April 2008, the band appeared at the Bamboozle Left festival.[7] Later in the month, the band went on a US tour with Chiodos.[8] Between June and August, the band performed on the 2008 edition of Warped Tour.[9] In October and November, the band supported Hawthorne Heights on their headlining US tour, titled the Never Sleep Again Tour.[10] An acoustic version of "Complaintor" was posted on the group's Myspace profile on March 16, 2009.[11]
