Background

Following up from the band's previous record, Relentless, the group began writing for Back Burner by the ending months of 2010 and traveled out to Ocala, Florida to begin recording for it by the next year.[1]

At the time of its recording, For the Fallen Dreams lacked a bassist, so the bass guitar parts were performed by the band's guitarists, Jim Hocking and Kalan Blehm.[2]

Back Burner is the first release by the band to feature more consistent use of clean vocal passages; on most verses there is clean singing, and only two songs on the album don't feature clean vocals in the choruses ("Let Go" and "Fist Fight").[3]

Release

It was released on May 24, 2011 through Rise Records, and was produced by Tom Denney, the former guitarist of A Day to Remember. A few days later, the band made an appearance at Bled Fest.[4]
