Over the years, frontman Justin Furstenfield's has been struggling with mental illness and addiction. Furstenfield was able to hide his addiction though the band was falling apart. Yet clues about his mental illness could be found in many of his dark lyrics, something that has hounded him since he was a teenager.

This tour also comes in support of the documentary called "Get Back Up", detailing how Furstenfield and the band have endured painful experiences through illness and addiction, and the glimmer of a silver lining the band has seen, which enabled them to learn to love each other again and work actively to create a better future.
