Release

Following their founding in 2009, the group released a two-song demo[6] and a short EP titled We Are All Alone[7] under the name The Hotel Year. The releases didn't draw much attention outside of the band's home state of Massachusetts.

The debut full length was written when all of the band's members were in their late teens. It was recorded in 2010 and released on January 2, 2011. After the success of their second LP, titled Home, Like Noplace Is There, the record was re-released in early 2015 with a different album cover.

This is the band's only full length with guitarist/vocalist Zack Shaw, who left the group in 2012. He was replaced by Cody Millett.
