A digital only single called Still Hurts, featuring two more non-album tracks, was released on 9 March 2015. A promo video directed by Sitcom Soldiers was premiered on 3 March 2015.

Disquiet reached No. 79 in the UK Charts [5] which was the bands' highest chart placing since 1999's Suicide Pact – You First . The album was originally released on CD and download but the LP version was delayed release until 1 June 2015.
