Even If It Kills Me was released on September 18, 2007, and represented a large leap from the group’s last chart performance: it peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200 and number one on the magazine’s Independent Albums chart. ” This Is for Real ” became their best-charting single, peaking at number 48 in Australia . Cain later felt that the band placed far too much emphasis at the time on “numbers and trajectory instead of the creative process.” The following year saw a rise in profile for the band: they worked out promotional deals with Coca-Cola and Pepsi , their music was licensed in various television shows, movies, and video games, and they toured heavily. The band released an acoustic EP featuring songs from Even if It Kills Me in May 2008. After the release of that EP, the band toured on the Honda Civic Tour with Panic at the Disco and Phantom Planet , and then joined the last weeks of the Warped Tour 2008 . In September, they headlined on The Left Handed Forms of Human Endeavor Tour.
