The release was self-produced after announcing that they had left their label, Roadrunner Records in April 2010.[1] They subsequently set up an account on the website Pledgemusic to help fund the EP, which is sold to fans who have pledged as well as donating a percentage of the money raised to the Keep A Breast Foundation.[2][3] On September 1, 2010, the band released "They're Coming for Me" to iTunes, after being recorded days before bassist Matthew Leone was attacked.[4] The full EP was released on December 10, 2010, for download on Pledgemusic.
