Background

On February 24, 2016, Yellowcard announced that they had re-signed with independent label Hopeless Records and had begun work on their next record.[2] The seventh track "Empty Street" was originally recorded as a Big If (ex-bassist Sean O'Donnell and Key's former side project) demo in 2009. The eighth track "I'm a Wrecking Ball" was a demo originally recorded in 2008 by Key, guitarist Ryan Mendez and Dan McLintock of Inspection 12.[3]

Sessions were held at The Lone Tree Recordings in Franklin, Tennessee; drums were recorded at Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Ryan Key and Mendez produced and recorded the album, while Neal Avron mixed it at The Casita in Hollywood, California, with assistance from Scott Skrzynski. Additional engineering was done by Will Pugh and Sean Mackin; Ted Jensen mastered the album at Sterling Sound.
