On August 7, 2006, it was announced that the band had left Victory Records, citing a lack of royalty payment and filed a lawsuit against them.

[5] They went on a month-long trek across the US with From First to Last, Secondhand Serenade, Brighten, and Powerspace, and then appeared on that year's Warped Tour.

[5] Sessions were held at Hype Dance Studio in Chico, California, with Jeff Schneeweis acting as main producer, and the band co-producing.

Due to the death of unclean vocalist Casey Calvert, there is a noticeable absence of harsh vocals on the record.

[9] In reference to tracks that were intended for the album, band member Eron Bucciarelli said in a 2007 interview:"There's a song called "The End of the Underground" and "Sugar in the Engine" which I really, really like because they're kind of darker, a little more moody.

[14] The full version of "Rescue Me" was posted on the band's Myspace on June 26;[15] it was later released to radio on July 7.

Two days later, the band performed an acoustic in-store session at Looney Tunes, a record store located in Long Island.

It features three live acoustic songs from Fragile Future, and one from their first studio album, The Silence in Black and White.
