The album was recorded in Chicago at Atlas Studios and produced by Matt Allison (Less Than Jake, Alkaline Trio, Lawrence Arms).
The Smoking Popes formed in 1991, releasing records on a variety of Chicago labels before signing to Capital Records. The band broke up in 1998 but reformed for some one off shows, which was followed by a reformation that stuck in 2008 (when they released, Stay Down).
