Drummer Tony Thaxton departed the group in March 2013 following battles with depression, due in part to their ceaseless touring schedule. The band enlisted longtime friend Claudio Rivera of Saves the Day as their new drummer, and released a one-off single with him, “Inside Out”, in celebration. The band immediately began writing a new album, but progress was slow. The group shelved a group of demos they recorded with Mike Sapone , who also worked with Brand New . In the meantime, a video documentary , I Am the Movie: The Movie , was released in 2013. It mainly consists of footage shot of the band around the time of the album’s creation. The group participated in Warped Tour 2013 and went on a co-headlining tour with Relient K that November.
