Release

[edit | edit source]

On August 23, 2007, the Color Fred announced they had signed to Equal Vision Records; alongside this, "If I Surrender" was posted on their Myspace profile.[5] On September 26, 2007, Bend to Break was announced for release the following month; alongside this, the track listing and artwork were posted online.[6] On October 12, 2007, "Get Out" was posted on Myspace.[7] Bend to Break was made available for streaming through Myspace, before being released through Equal Vision three days later.[8] It was released in digipak style on "a minimum of 80% post-consumer waste recycled paper".[9] "I like to keep everything I do as close to carbon footprint zero as possible," Mascherino said. "The guys at Equal Vision had to search far and wide to make my packaging goal a reality. But it’s well worth it. It’s really important to me and if everyone else did it, it would make a big difference."[10]

In November and December 2007, the band supported Straylight Run on the headlining tour of the US.[11] On November 28, 2007, a music video was released for "If I Surrender".[12] In February and March 2008, the band supported Angels & Airwaves on their headlining US tour.[13] In early April 2008, the band appeared at the Bamboozle Left festival.[14] Later in the month, the band went on a US tour with Chiodos and then a tour with MxPx, and appeared at the Give it a Name festival in the UK.[15][16][17] Following this, the band performed on the Warped Tour between June and August 2008.[18][19] In October and November, the band supported Hawthorne Heights on their headlining US tour, titled the Never Sleep Again Tour.[20] An acoustic version of "Complaintor" was posted on the group's Myspace profile on March 16, 2009.[21]
