Overview

During touring for the band's debut album, Of Malice and the Magnum Heart, tension started to form between vocalist Jesse Zaraska and the other members. Once touring for the album was completed, Zaraska was asked to leave the band. Zaraska would return to Edmonton and form the post-rock band Sleeping Girl with members of his former band Compromise. He would be replaced by Karl Schubach. Schubach was chosen after the band posted an instrumental song online, inviting fans to write lyrics and perform vocals for the song.^[6]

The chorus of "One Day I'll Stay Home" features guest vocals from Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.^[3]
