The album was issued in a limited run of 5,000 copies which were given out free at FYE record stores, mostly in their home state of Illinois.

In the summer of 2008, The Graduate completed a U.S. tour with My American Heart, Secondhand Serenade, PlayRadioPlay, and Rookie of the Year.

On October 31, 2008, the group's label, Icon MES, folded, and because of this, the deluxe edition of their debut entitled Anhedonia Revisited (which had been slated for release on November 4, 2008) was cancelled.

Following a tour with Ludo and Eye Alaska in November 2008, the group announced plans to write and record their follow-up full-length.

The band signed with Razor & Tie in May 2010; Brian McTernan produced their sophomore full-length album Only Every Time, which was released on August 31, 2010.
