Release

Flat-Pack Philosophy was released on 7 March 2006; it was promoted with a UK tour with support from the Adored.[4][5] Between March and May 2006, the band played across Europe, which included appearances at the Bourge Festival and Festival of the Arts.[4] Partway through this trek, drummer Phil Barker left the band and was replaced by Danny Farrant.[6] In June 2006, they played a few US East Coast shows prior to joining that year's Warped Tour, and then headlining another month's worth of shows with support from the Adored, the Strays, and Easy Image.[7][8][9]

In September 2006, "Sell You Everything" was released as a single, with a live version of "16" and a demo of "Every Day Every Night" as the B-sides. Two months later, the band held two special shows to celebrate their 30th anniversary.[10] On 4 December 2006, "Reconciliation" was released as single, with "See Through You" and "Holding Me Down" as the B-sides.[11] In April and May 2007, they played three Europeans shows, prior to a short South American tour; upon returning to the UK, they played one-off shows in Newcastle and in Spain as part of the Primavera Sound festival.[12]
