Background

The Acoustic Collection was conceived during the band's writing sessions for DNA , as well as during their summer "Self-Titled Tour" in 2014. ^[2] When interviewed by Loudwire, singer Chris Taylor Brown said of the album: "The Acoustic Collection really focuses on the songs we have written throughout the years. I think by stripping every song down to the basic instruments, it really allows the emotion in each song to be felt. We have played acoustic sets at radio stations, meet and greets with fans and have even done a few full acoustic shows and with each performance, our fans asked for an album of acoustic songs. I really feel like we delivered exactly what they had in mind." ^[3]
