After signing with Epitaph, they recorded three new songs with the bands Reggie and the Full Effect and Ultimate Fakebook for a triple split EP which was never released. The new songs were added to the second release of I Am the Movie , which was released via Epitaph on June 24, 2003. Epitaph afforded the quartet wider distribution and a proper budget, which allowed them to re-record several songs on the album to match their original vision. During this time, the band visited the United Kingdom for the first time in 2003 while on tour with Sugarcult , followed by an inaugural stint on Warped Tour 2003 . The band continued to tour heavily into the next year, with US dates alongside Rufio , Mae , and Fall Out Boy , plus Simple Plan and MxPx . A European leg—titled the “Totally Wicked Awesome Tour”—featured the group with Sugarcult , the All-American Rejects , and Limbeck . That year, the band also filmed music videos for the singles “The Future Freaks Me Out” and ” My Favorite Accident “. Their fame grew concurrently with a second appearance on the Warped Tour 2004 , where they were considered by fans to be a “must-see” act.
