Background and release

While on tour in fall 2005, Armor for Sleep performed a new song, titled "The Way Out Is Broken". [2] On January 12, 2006, the group released a demo of the song. [2] The band had been reportedly working on the song for their third album. [2] In July 2008, the band announced they would release an EP consisting of songs from their previous recording sessions later in the summer. [3] On August 21, "The Way Out Is Broken" was made available for streaming through the band's Myspace profile. [4]

It is exclusively a digital download EP, and has not been released on a physical medium. Fans could purchase a download card from Armor for Sleep during the later dates of the 2008 Projekt Revolution tour, allowing them to download the EP on the day of its release. [5]
