Fifth studio album
(2016)

On March 8, 2013, the band announced their hiatus was over and they will be touring worldwide to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album Page Avenue. It was also stated that the band re-recorded Page Avenue, entitled Page Avenue: 10 Years and Counting with a release date on October 8, 2013.^[8] Originally they planned it to be a full acoustic version of the album, but after the collaboration with City Spud during their concert in 2011 they decided to re-record the album with a different feel to each song rather than just acoustic versions. This version doesn't feature the songs "Burning Years" and "Falling Down".

This was the last record to feature long-time bass guitarist, Adam Russell.
