In October 2008, Leathermouth signed to Epitaph Records , as opposed to Frank Iero’s label as originally planned. Iero thought that it would be difficult to promote the album himself, if released through his own label, with his current obligations to My Chemical Romance and the other bands signed to his label. Epitaph Records president, Brett Gurewitz , was impressed with the band’s “intensity and songwriting of the music.” Leathermouth released their first studio album on January 27, 2009, through Epitaph entitled XO . Although the album did not chart on the Billboard 200 , it did reach No. 21 on the Top Heatseekers chart.
