Halfway through a tour supporting Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, vocalist Austin Carlile was fired by the band due to personal differences. He was replaced by Nick Barham, former vocalist of For All We Know. On October 19, 2009, Barham announced his departure from the band just two days short of their headlining tour. Caleb Shomo this time took over lead vocals while still performing as their keyboardist. The band headlined the 2010 Artery Across the Nation Tour with support from Asking Alexandria, I See Stars, Breathe Carolina, and BURY TOMORROW in early 2010 and performed three songs off their upcoming self-titled album: “Sexual Man Chocolate,” “AC-130,” and “A For Andrew.” On November 10, 2010, Johnny Franck announced that he had left the band in order to focus on his relationship with God. Caleb Shomo now performs both clean and unclean vocals. Sean Mackowski is also the band’s new rhythm guitarist. They reissued their self-titled album on July 19, 2011 with four new songs, the first songs to feature Caleb’s clean vocals, two of which were produced by John Feldmann.
