Release
On October 17, 2006, Broadcast to the World was made available for streaming via Alternative Press. It was released in the U.S. on October 24 through Icon.
Critical reception
The album was met with positive reviews. Allmusic reviewer Rick Anderson called them a heavy rock band that are "...owing far more to the old school than the new, but that adds the welcome element of solid melodic hooks to the mix." He said that the music had elements of The Clash and Rancid. He also praised its range of songs to enable the band's audience to either sing/rap along, mosh along to or yell along to.
A review by Sputnikmusic stated that they were "one of those "I-can't-believe-they-haven't-hit-it-big" bands", calling them underrated, especially on this album. The review stated that there were elements of heavy metal, pop punk and punk rock joined with their primary rap rock sound.
