Release

On August 9, 2007, Career Suicide was announced for release, and the album's track listing was revealed.[1] In August, the band supported Strung Out on their North American tour.[2] "The Horse" and "These Dead Streets" were posted on the band's Myspace on October 2.[3] The album was released on October 9.[4] In October, the group went on a US tour with Only Crime and The Swellers.[3] On October 25, "Die While We're Young" was made available for free download via Fuse's website.[5] On October 30, a music video was released for "Die While We're Young" via Alternative Press.[6] In November and December, the band went on tour alongside the Fall of Troy and Schoolyard Heroes.[7] Following a UK tour, the band toured across the US in March and April 2008 alongside the Unseen.[8] On April 1, a music video was released for "I Wipe My Ass with Showbiz". According to Alternative Press, the video "takes a shot at fashioned-obsessed music business executives".[9] The band made an appearance at The Fest.[10] On December 31, the band posed an outtake from the recording sessions, "The I Hate ___ Club", on their Myspace. Vocalist/guitarist Trevor Reilly said it was "easily in my top three of the Career Suicide session songs. Why was it left off the record you ask? Bill [Stevenson] and Jason [Livermore] said 'no hate club or route 40 on the record' and we said 'ok.'"[11] In January and February 2009, the band supported Streetlight Manifesto on their headlining tour of the US.[12]
