After two years of booking, promoting, and producing everything themselves, the band signed a deal with Triple Crown Records of New York City in June 2002.
[3] Writing in 2022, Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan said it influenced the later work of Taking Back Sunday, and "remains one of the best and most underrated albums of the entire early 2000s emo boom".
[4] The album was promoted with a few headlining shows in October,[5] before joining the All-American Rejects and Motion City Soundtrack on their tour in November.
[7] In March and April 2003, the band toured across the US with Armor for Sleep, This Day Forward, and Breaking Pangaea,[8] leading up to an appearance at the Skate & Surf Fest.
[23] Torres and Odom created Cassino;[1] the demos for it were recorded with Matt Squire and used drummer Will Noon of Straylight Run.
[24] A collection of demos and alternate recordings, entitled Broken Parachute, has been announced by Nashville-based Speak Music Media in November 2005, initially as a five-track EP.
