Released My Dinosaur Life

My Dinosaur Life was released to acclaim from music critics upon its debut on January 19, 2010, and it represented the band’s all-time best chart performance, peaking at number 15 on the Billboard 200. They supported Weezer on several dates during this time, and they began a headlining tour in late January in the US. In the first three months following the album’s release, the band continued to tour heavily: they traveled to Australia for the national Soundwave festival, as well as to Japan and the UK. The band also began to receive radio airplay for the first time in their career, and they released a music video for the single ” Her Words Destroyed My Planet “. The group embarked on a large tour with Say Anything between October and November 2010, and premiered a self-shot video for “A Lifeless Ordinary” during that time. Columbia dropped the band later that year, with the commercial performance of My Dinosaur Life leading to the split. “I guess we didn’t do as well as they hoped or expected us to,” said Pierre that year. “And we felt that having all their resources at our disposal would perhaps propel us into another dimension. But we are what we are regardless of what label or machine is behind us. We did exceptionally well, though, if you want to look strictly at sales numbers in today’s climate.”
