Assailants is the third album by Lydia. It was released on July 20, 2010.[3] The record was self released by the band after their record label passed on releasing it.[4]

History

It was announced on March 10, 2010 that Mindy White had decided to leave the band.[5]

On May 11, 2010 a new unmastered song was posted on their MySpace called "We Clean Up So Well" with a note announcing that the band will break up after a nationwide tour in July. The tour was titled "The Lydia Finale: A Goodbye & Farewell Tour".[6]

Guitarist Steve McGraw announced on July 12, 2010 that he had decided to leave the band and would not be playing on their final tour.[7]

Two mini videos were released for "Assailants"[8] and "We Clean Up So Well".[9] They also released a full music video for "I've Never Seen A Witch" on October 6, 2010 which was directed by former drummer Loren Brinton and produced and written by Ian Michael Kintzle.[10]
