History

Unlike most albums, Armstrong said that it would be free and downloadable over the internet, with one song being released at a time. That same day, the first track, "Hold On", appeared as an MP3 and music video on Epitaph's site. Almost two months later, on October 11, 2006, the second track, "Wake Up", was released in the same manner. As of March 2007, no other track has been released. At some point, Epitaph's site listed a release date of February 6, 2007 but sometime after that it was changed to June 7, 2007.
