Background edit

After touring on Warped Tours 2011 and 2012, the band returned to the studio to record their second album in late 2012. The sound of the album changes little from their debut album Don't Be A Dick, but does have a lighter sound.[3] Drummer Joey Armstrong's father, Billie Joe Armstrong, had an impact on the album's music.[11]
