This EP was available from their then-upcoming tours "The Secret Valentine Tour" and the "Craig Owens Tour", and is still available from the Fueled By Ramen webstore, and iTunes Store. The record reached #44 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. [2] 'Past Praying For' is the first single from the EP and a music video was made. In December 2009, they released 'Whisperer' as their second and last single with a tour video as the promotional clip.
