Toured Australia

In April 2010 Hit The Lights toured Australia with New Found Glory and Fireworks . Hit the Lights had fulfilled their contract obligations with Triple Crown Records and began looking for a new label. After a bidding war in March 2010, they announced that they had signed with Universal Republic Records, in partnership with Vagrant Records. Hit the Lights worked to write their major label debut, but became increasingly frustrated from the lack of feedback and the desire from the label for them to write Top 40 Radio hits. During this time, Universal Republic experienced significant restructuring and in May 2011 Hit the Lights asked for release from their contract, which was granted. On June 1, 2011, Hit the Lights entered the studio to begin recording their new record. Guitarist Omar has said that they have collaborated with Ryan Key from Yellowcard , Tim Pagnotta from Sugarcult , and Kenny Vasoli from The Starting Line . In September 2011, the band signed with Razor & Tie Records.
