Cold War Kids spent the end of 2008 and most of 2009 on the road touring for Loyalty to Loyalty , highlighted by a national tour with Death Cab for Cutie . In between touring, the band returned to the studio to record what would become their seventh EP, Behave Yourself . In an interview with Flavorwire , Maust talked about the differences between this and Loyalty to Loyalty : “It’s basically the happier, more vibrant songs that didn’t really fit on the [Loyalty] album. We realized that in a way, we were starting to work ahead of ourselves, so this [EP] works as a nice bridge between records.” Behave Yourself was released digitally on iTunes on December 21, 2009, and given a physical version on January 19, 2010.
