In an interview with between Weekend Notes and band member Peter Maslen, he described the album as "... a basic CD. It's got the hits and two new songs we recorded last year, which surprised us, but we did do two songs last year. It wasn't planned."[2]
The group toured the album from February to May 2014.[3]
