After the band's breakthrough 2005 album, Open Surgery, a follow-up album was much anticipated within the Israeli punk scene, and more than a year passed since the album was recorded in August 2006.
An EP containing five songs from the recording sessions was released in February 2007 via Smith Seven Records, titled Access Denied!. The EP contained the song "Proud to Be Un-American", also featured on the album.[1]
An album release concert was held at the Tmuna Theater, Tel Aviv, Israel on February 29, 2008.
