Bad Books started as a collaboration between folk /indie singer-songwriter Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull . Devine has toured with Manchester Orchestra since signing with their label Favorite Gentlemen in 2007, and the two had a spot supporting Brand New on their US spring tour in March– April 2007. Hull and Devine met again when they were co-headlining a tour in the US in November–December 2008, in support of Devine’s EP I Could Be with Anyone which featured songs from his then-upcoming fifth studio album Brother’s Blood .
