The band signed to Universal Republic on August 16, 2007, and soon after began to write material for their major-label debut, entitled New Surrender , which was released on September 30, 2008. This was the band’s first album to not be distributed through Tooth & Nail Records or produced by Aaron Sprinkle. The first song to be heard from the new album was tentatively titled “Bittersweet Memory” during its initial live performances; it was later renamed to “Breaking”, with an acoustic remix of the song included on USB wristbands sold exclusively during the 2008 Warped Tour. On July 11, 2008, the band showcased a second new song called “Disappear” on their MySpace profile. The first actual single from the album was the re-recorded ” Feel Good Drag ” which was set to go to radio on August 18 – eventually being released on August 26.
