Two B-sides (an unreleased track called "Arrest Me" and a live/acoustic version of "Waiting for the World to End") were released on a SideOneDummy sampler in 2005.
"Heard That Sound" was released to radio on May 17, 2005.[7] Between mid June and mid August 2005, the group went on the 2005 edition of Warped Tour.[8] "Wrecking Hotel Rooms" was released to radio on July 26, 2005.[7] In January 2006, the band went on a co-headlining UK tour with The Starting Line, with support from The Matches and I Am the Avalanche.[9]
