In January 2010, the band began recording for the first time. The group announced on December 20 that it would go to Orlando, Florida to record a full-length debut album over a period of two months with a tentative release date of the first quarter of 2011. The band also confirmed that Radke’s friend, Michael Baskette, who has worked on Blessthefall ‘s album Witness and Radke on Escape the Fate’s debut Dying Is Your Latest Fashion , would produce the album. It was soon confirmed that the band was signed with Epitaph Records , Radke’s former label with Escape the Fate, and the band released its debut album in 2011. The album was soon titled The Drug in Me Is You and was slated for a July 26, 2011 release date, with pre-orders beginning on June 7. The eleven song track list was released soon after. With the help of Executive Producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette, mixing and tracking for the album concluded on April 2, 2011. The album spawned the singles “Raised by Wolves” and “The Drug in Me Is You”. The band’s first music video was released for “The Drug in Me Is You” on June 28, 2011, and was advertised by the New York Post the week before the album’s release. The album was streamed via the band’s website on July 15. The Drug in Me Is You was released in the United States on July 26, 2011 to mostly mixed reviews, but managed to sell 18,000 copies in its first week in the US charting at number 19 on the Billboard 200 . A third single, “I’m Not a Vampire”, was released a few months after the album’s release on October 24 with an accompanying music video featuring Jeffree Star which features a satirical Celebrity Rehab theme, and reached over one million views in three days.
