Symphony Soldier was released on August 23, 2011. Alex Marshall described the album as everything “we’ve been through over the past two years.” The Cab guitarist alumnus Ian Crawford played guitar for the album. It features several guest artists co-writing, including Martin Johnson , Pete Wentz , Bruno Mars and Adam Levine . The group was previously writing with S*A*M and Sluggo , Rob Knox and Claude Kelly for the album in 2010, however, the group decided to scrap most of those songs as “it was sounding like an American Idol record,” according to DeLeon, which was something the band was not going for. He also stated the reason for the album taking a while to be released was due to creative differences with the label and felt that since departing from the label, they could do what they wanted. The album peaked at number 62 on the Billboard 200.
