He released the first volume on Presidents Day 2011, the second volume on Presidents Day 2012, and the third volume on Presidents Day 2013. That same year, Chris Huggard and Elijah Ringler temporarily joined the band for live performances. Their seventh full-length album, "It's Getting Personal," was released in January 2014. Their first split EP with The Worsh Ahts, entitled "Uplifting Songs for the Downtrodden Heart," was released in August that same year.
