Rival Schools' first release was based around the concept of a series of EPs where multiple groups would come together to form a single band.

The lone result of this experiment was titled Rival Schools United by Onelinedrawing, released on 24 July 2001 by Schreifels' Some Records.

[8] The rest of the band parted ways in September 2003: Schreifels went on to form Walking Concert; Love recorded a self-titled solo album in 2006, released on Limekiln Records[usurped]; Tolman went on play with Institute; and Siegler joined Nightmare of You and briefly provided percussion for Limp Bizkit.

[13] In August 2009, they played the UK Reading & Leeds festivals on the 'Lock Up' stage alongside Mad Caddies, The Bronx and Rise Against.

The album was initially written and recorded as the intended follow-up to United by Fate, but the band split up before completing the release and it was ultimately shelved.

[15] Rival Schools played their final show of their reunion on November 19, 2013 at the O2 Academy Brixton in London, England.

[16] In August 2022, an official Rival Schools Instagram page was launched, teasing an upcoming announcement and linking to a new merch store.

The entire original line-up will partake in the reunion, marking Love's first shows with Rival Schools in 12 years.
