Ex Lives

Release

Josh Newton left the band five months after the recording, and was replaced by former bassist Stephen Micciche for touring.

On January 25, 2012 Epitaph began posting a series of videos to YouTube offering viewers a behind the scenes look into the making of Ex Lives.

On February 22, 2012 a music video was released for the song "Revival Mode". Keith Buckley offered the following on the video: "We worked with director Robert Schober who has done incredible work for Mastodon, Deftones, Metallica and now, us. The clip has a very ambiguously creepy David Lynch vibe to it and might be the first time we've never included a single one of our instruments in lieu of a story line that exists outside of us as members of a band. It's dark and weird and while not completely adhering thematically to the lyrics, it sets a larger, broader mood which marries the song perfectly." Director Robert "Robo" Schober adds, "The video is a surrealist crime drama set on a lost highway...the story loosely interprets key phrases from the song...the guys were awesome and put up with many hours of freezing temperatures in the middle of the desert."

Ex Lives was released on March 6, 2012 through Epitaph.

They have released videos for "Underwater Bimbos from Outer Space" and "Revival Mode". "Underwater Bimbos from Outer Space" was directed by vocalist Keith Buckley.
