The Way Out Is Broken is the fourth release and first EP from New Jersey band Armor for Sleep.[1] It was their last release before their disbandment in 2009 (and subsequent reunion in 2020).
While on tour in fall 2005, Armor for Sleep performed a new song, titled "The Way Out Is Broken".[2] On January 12, 2006, the group released a demo of the song.[2] The band had been reportedly working on the song for their third album.[2] In July 2008, the band announced they would release an EP consisting of songs from their previous recording sessions later in the summer.[3] On August 21, "The Way Out Is Broken" was made available for streaming through the band's Myspace profile.[4]
It is exclusively a digital download EP, and has not been released on a physical medium. Fans could purchase a download card from Armor for Sleep during the later dates of the 2008 Projekt Revolution tour, allowing them to download the EP on the day of its release.[5]
