The band and Zach agreed and Tragic Hero was offered to incubate the first offiicial release to help grow the band leading up to their Fearless debut. The band was never actually signed to tragic hero records.

This action forced the band to be without their rhythm guitar parts during their performances. Motionless in White stated "If our live performance didn’t heavily depend on having 2 guitarists then it wouldn’t have been a huge deal to us... but unfortunately having 1 guitar player in a band like ours causes your show to suffer greatly.
