With the release of their second full-length As the Eternal Cowboy, AGAINST ME! had firmly established themselves as a genre defying success. The band was drawing praise from seemingly every corner of the industry and with mention of a third album in the works, fans, tastemakers, critics, and just about anyone else loosely affiliated with music were all champing at the bit to get their hands on the new material. As it happens, the building wall of anticipatory pressure proved too great a force and eventually a handful of demos from the upcoming album, Search ing For a Former Clarity, were stolen/leaked to the public.
