"Drive-By Argument" is the debut release from Ayrshire band, of the same name, Drive-by Argument. It was released on May 12th 2008, under Lizard King Records on digital release. It was released physically on the May 19th 2008. The release date of this album has been changed multiple times since the recording of the album in late 2006. The original release date was due for September 2007, but the record label, thinking the frequency of it's selling would falter, delayed the release in order to allow the band to build more popularity. Several more release dates passed by time including a rumoured late February (2008) release.
The original title for the album was going to be under the name of the ninth song on the album 'We Techno Prisoners'. However the band later scrapped the name at the last moment, and decided on a self-titled release, due to indecisiveness of deciding on an appropriate title.[1]
The band have released three singles so far from the album: Sex Lines Are Expensive Comedy, The Sega Method and Dance Like No-One's Watching.
