On November 25, 2009, lead guitarist Andrew Whiting released information about an upcoming album.^[7] The band began playing four of the album's tracks - "Sexual Man Chocolate", "Renob, Nevada", "A for Andrew", and "AC-130" - during their tour.^[8] The album was initially titled Shazam, however, due to copyright issues, the band self-titled the album.^[9] The album's release date was rescheduled to June 8th, after initially planning to be released on May 25th. During an interview with Wetzel from Bamboozle 2010, the band announced an entirely electronica track titled "Shut Your Mouth", and would feature a guest appearance from artist McSwagger, who claimed that it's "electro that the states haven't heard before."
