And Their Name Was Treason is the debut studio album by A Day to Remember, released on May 10, 2005. It is the band's only album on Indianola Records, as the success of this album led to their signing to Victory Records.

Background

The album sold over 8,000 copies with little to no advertising or exposure.[2]

The album features samples from various films throughout; "Intro" features a sample from the film Donnie Darko, "1958" features a sample from the film The Boondock Saints and "Sound The Alarm" features audio from Shaun of the Dead. The song "1958" was written about drummer Brandon Roberts who left the band prior to being signed to Indianola Records. The numbers "1958" were the last four digits of his cell phone number. It is the only album that drummer Bobby Scruggs played on.

A re-release entitled Old Record was released in 2008 through Victory Records. No major differences of the original pressing and this re-release have been made however, other than different cover art, a rearranged track listing[3] and slight modifications to its production.
